Array ( [sid] => 74893 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => DEATH HAS CALLED ME FROM BIRTH [time] => 2004-12-08 13:55:56 [hometext] => I don't have a wish to die [bodytext] => I don't have a wish to die
But death she calls my soul
I can hear her all the time

I have felt her touch
That icy grip
What a rush

She has been calling my name
Since before
I was born
Maybe thats why
I was born blue

Then at five when
I had a heart attack and stroke
And died
I saw the white light
I saw my body raise
As my dad prayed over me to live
Not to be taken away

Then again at seventeen
When I sliced my wrist with a key
Middle of winter so it didn't really bleed
Just enough to feel her touch
That icy grip
What a rush

Then at twentysix
I found out she had won
(So She Thinks)
I was diygonise with HIV/AIDS
A slow death
But faster than most

Took lots of pills seen the light
Fade to night
Just another blow
To this thing we call life

I don't have a wish to die

I'll be thirtysix in july
Hope I make it
I will make it

If not just for me
But for her my dear wife
The only gift
Blessed be her name MaDonna

May death see this and die.

This is so sad. I never thought about it before..I was premature, didn't have fingernails or the very top layer of skin..my mom says I looked like a wax doll..I'm still really petite..and never really happy either. At 16 I used a safety pin..that really hurt.. got infected, too.. then that same day I took some pills of my dads and almost died..they put me in a mental ward for several months..
I seem to live in a state of depression. I think I'll make my own flag.. LOL. I hope you get better.
