I Am Everyone
Posted August 4, 2006
What if I were everyone in the world? Every murder would also be a suicide. I'd be the person who shot myself, and the person who went to trial for shooting me. I'd be the jury who sentenced myself to death. I'd be the judge who delivered the sentence. I'd be the preacher who gave me my last words and the chef who cooked me my last meal. I'd be the guard who escorted me to the little room. I would be the one to inject myself with lethal poisons. I would watch myself die, never feeling my own pain. I would be the preacher who preached at my funeral and the guests who attended it. I would be the pallbearers who carried my own coffin. I would be the person who dug my own grave and the one who set my coffin into the ground. And I would be the little girl who set flowers on the grave, setting flowers on my own grave.
