I've been Pronounced

As the needles push into my vein,
As hopes collapse and fall as rain,
As my soul wishes its bitter end,
As my mind can no longer defend,
As this world comes to a stop,
As my blood lets its final drop,
As my body begins to numb,
As they stand there calling me dumb,
As my heartbeat begins to fade,
As my memories revolve to the blade,
As my body slips asunder,
As I lie down stiff as lumber,
As the warmth pulses within,
As the whole room begins to spin,
As the needle falls from my hand,
As I drift off to foreign land,
As I'll not awake again in my bed,
As I've been pronounced overdosed: Dead.
