O' God,

Take me away for I want to return

I've seen it all, I've taken my turn

This life is a veil between you and I

Give me death's wings so that I fly

Our divine covenant, I've completely forgotten

This world has rendered my memory rotten

Insignificant chores have engulfed me

It is high time you set my spirit free

Acknowledge my restlesness to meet you

Don't let me belong to the negligent crew

With you, so many have fallen in love

I yearn to witness what resides above

For how long I'll continue to write heartfelt poetry

Without sowing the seed, I wish to see the tree

I ain't one of those who are steadfast enough

to keep fighting with caprice and Satan's bluff

the longer I exist

the lesser I resist

My entire being, this sinfulness bites

I am denying my soul of its rights

I see myself attaining no heights

It is like chasing afar kites

Only grave will really punch my ego

when I'm buried from head to toe

Against fate, I have no grudge

I know you're the best judge

I am pleased I haven't lost my literary touch

I am no mystic, words are my only crutch

Psychologists can't rightly interpret this confession

They can only label it a sign of depression

As long as I breathe, you will remain hidden

Let Azrael come so I see your shining sun!
