Analysis of Death Wish
Is it ok to wish for death
though I know it is uncertain
Will I be here to take the next breath
In my grave, will my mother lay a wreath
None of that is going to be a relish
Despite that I still have the death wish
It is wrong I know
But isn't it alright to let go
Let go of what you have close to your heart
let go of everything that hurts
Let go of sweet memories that is losing its grip
And forever peacefully sleep

About this poem
I was going through this rough patch . Everything seemed so dark and unwilling . That is when I wrote this poem. It is not the same now but I want to post this poem in reminder of my past and believe that we can overcome every situation since I am in better condition now.
