Go Unheard The End! Until Death I sleep

Go Unheard The End! Until Death I sleep

A Poem by Shayne Harnden

I walk to the chamber
Where I will die
Walking with pride
They will not make me cry

I enter the room with not a care
Snicker and grin
I tilt my head and greet the chair

They tie me in, over my head
Twice around my rib
I laugh a little
When I was born I had one
In death this will be my crib

I nod to them to lift the curtain
Revealing the parents of those I killed
They will be enjoying this I am certain

In this crowd of people I still feel alone
I watch the clock tick away
Counting down the time
For the governor to call on the phone

I know they see me as a disgrace
I can see their
Hate
Pain
Wishing for death
Upon their face

I know in my book of life there is not another page
To these people and the ones that are outside
Wishing to come in
I am about to take center stage

I feel that they want
To see my guilty side
Showing I am scared
Feared of judgment
That comes
After my lightning ride

Give them no more
Of what I can
I will face death and see God
As I change from Boy
To Man

A man asks
For the final things I would say
I think hard
To give a lasting memory
Before the price for my sins
I am forced to pay

“After this day I know
I will not see you in my dreams
But this moment is not yours
I am sorry, Now you will hear my screams!”

I screamed with all my might
Yelling curses to ghosts
As they flick the switch
The lightning going through me
Took my light

Ever since I was that child I cannot lie
Living in this life was the worst
Knowing my molester was my father
I wished ever day to die.

So I did things to bury me
In a hole six feet deep
I would be scared of him
Until death I sleep




Now I will never go unheard.

I'm quite amazed by this .. took me a few lines to realise what you were writing about, when I did, wasn't sure whether or not to continue. However, I did because your words lured me in: 'I nod to them to lift the curtain Revealing the parents of those I killed They will be enjoying this I am certain .. In this crowd of people I still feel alone I watch the clock tick away Counting down the time For the governor to call on the phone '

This is a raw, melancholic write .. telling how it might be, woven the present and the past, your reason for the death. Sombre piece but so well written.

*dances, even though she knows it isn't really appropriate for the scene* I could barely contain myself through this one. It really pulls, makes you feel like you're in the killer's mind, in the victim's mind. Awesommmmmmmme!

Dear Mr. Harnden,

I thought "I will never know peace" was the end, lol. Sorry for that, but anyways. Thank you again for showing this to me and I am truly appreciative. "A man asks, 'For the final things I would say, I think hard to give a lasting memory. Before the price of my sins, I am forced to pay." Again, this is truly amazing. And yes, it is a good story that holds a lot of truth. Though I'm not a pessimistic person, it is natural in life to think of death. It is sometimes even a fulfilling thing to die. Out of all the promises in life we can break, death will not be one of them. "Now, I will never go unheard" is perhaps the best way I could end this collaboration of five poems. Thanks again for sharing. Kudos. 10/10.

Sincerely,
S. W. Scaggs

You were able to add depth and beauty to a sad and penetrating situation. And although you may not want to feel sympathy for the subject you cannot help yourself

This is a very gloomy and dark story. Really good too. You captured the man's feelings amazingly. Great job

fantsatcially gloom ending, you can almost feel the cold solitude and lonliness the MC has felt throughout their life, their death being almost a release. A release of never-ending pain and strain. Love this peice, great way to end the unheard with the opposite- loud sreams to be heard by all.
