erm I posted this on livejournal but I wanted more people to read it HELP

been reading shakespeare. what a guy

it feels like it needs to be stopped.
death feels like a virus waiting to wipe everyone out,
a sickness that needs to be cured.
i know its inevitable but i feel like i need to live forever,
even though that's the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone.

curse me with immortality,
give me eternal life and aging,
let me turn old and gray.
the dagger in my sheath,
fears what's hiding underneath.

take me away,
lead me astray,
and let me decay.
even as i return to my crashing plane of hopelessness,
the plain demise known as life curses me with its presence.
take me back to the factory where i was made.
let me see every failure and disappointment that followed.
maybe i'll feel better about myself.

i am writing this to you as i look for my last decision to make. let me cure your death, and your depression. let me cure the eternal sadness hiding deep within you. please, you shouldn't miss me when i am gone, and drearing livor mortis, for even if i was your only hope and the person you saw in your dreams, i am only a man, and i am pathetic. i will return to you eventually in the great world that lies beneath the soil that you stand on and we shall be together once again. my name should be only a curse and something that is spoken down upon. dont even feign the slightest amount of grief, for that will shame me, and shame everything all my life has given. for i am nothing less of a thorn in your side and something you should forget. my mark is no longer permanent, and shall remain irrelevant for as long as i remain a spirit.
