My Untimely Demise

by maggie   Feb 16, 2008


As I looked up in the sky
The stars twinkled above
I was ashamed
Of the things I once loved.
My mother stroking my hair.
My father telling jokes.
My sister crying for me
When I hated my life so.
My head, I then shook,
The images out of my mind.
Then I reminded myself:
What I was doing was right.
My life was a waste.
My purpose, a lie.
The lord made my life hell.
And had no reason why.
As I looked down below
To the bustling streets
I was about to jump
And my demise I would meet.
I took a step towards my fate.
Then it happened all the same.
I started to fall.
A man was to blame.
As I fell, I realized
This isn't what must be.
I never wanted this.
Well not really.
I was going to die.
And this was true.
Don't ever do
What I had to do.

    So much emotion and truth written in this. It shows what some people must think when they leap to their death or when they get that rope etc. Very deep and saddening yet so true. Well written, 5/5. Em
