I lie awake in the middle of the road

Watch as the truck comes my way

I am not scared, I am not worried

I am ready

I have walked for miles

My body is tired; from head to toe

My will to move is no more

I am ready

This is where my journey comes to an end

A life of searching for answers

To questions no longer relevant

I am ready

Ecstasy is all there is to it

The mundane ideology of a life about to end

I await a new beginning

I am ready

I have no preconceptions

No dreams of what to expect

You can’t be disappointed with no ambitions

I am ready

Let the truck make its way through me

Bore into the depth of my body and soul

And take me to a place I am yet to be

I am ready

It is what I have been waiting for

It is the dream I have not dared to articulate

It is the end that I shall forever long for

I am ready.
