Die Like A Man

by Travis   Sep 19, 2008


Sinking in the hearts of desire
Just watch my soul catch on fire
In the light of my ability to undermine
I walk away from everything, I'm feeling fine

Shattered glass keeps falling
Voices in my head keep calling
Broken promises keep fading
My darkest fears keep raiding

Thoughts and words keep crashing down
Leaving my smile just a cold frown
Emptiness erodes my heart
Forgiving tears my apart

Take away all the hate
Let my determine my fate
You're a little bit closer to changing me
Yet, I'm still in misery

I guess we'll meet again sometime
I've commited a terrible crime
Take me out, I just don't understand
I've even held out my hand

Forever surrounded by shame
I think I'm losing my mind, I'm the one to blame
In the light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile

A rush of blood to my head
Just hold on a litle longer she said
I'll just run away, cause I can
I'll end up dying like a man.

    "Forgiving tears my apart"
    A couple mistakes here. My instead of me?

    I didn't realize that I've never read this poem.

    But it is one of your VERY VERY VERY best.
    SO real.
    SO straight forward.

    I enjoyed the read...
    With the exception of those two spelling errors, the poem was uhmayzing, from the bottom of my heart.

    5/5, VERY well done.
