I'm not afraid to die I'm afraid of the loose ends I know what I will be going home to But the humanity in me can't let go of the rest I'm not afraid of the end of this misery I'm afraid of leaving it too soon Will this sacrifice suffice? I will never be ready My business will never be done Not even in those moments when I give up Not even in those times when I'm ready to end it myself There will always be something to regret Because it wasn't finished on time Wasn't done well enough. Right now time stops Everything comes to a halt I look around me at suspended reality And wonder if the very next instant will be my last The one thing I didn't expect to feel In this final moment of my life Is grief for everyone else.

Your work is certainly worthy of more serious consideration, April, than the following, but you will see why I'm reminded of:

I was put here to do a certain number of things; right now, I'm so far behind, I'll never die.
