me

Something I wrote a while back.

I saw myself die today

Awaiting better days till I faded away

Listen and take note of the words I say

Stuttering, hopeless, filled with dismay

Laid out on the bed

It was me. I was dead

Let me take back all these lies I've said

I want to undo these things I've done

Impossible, I can't, from these demons I run

They'll follow me all the way to heaven

They've been on my back since before I was seven

Death on my mind, it's growing near

Despite it's horrors I have no fear

What lies beyond is nothing my dear

For I have no faith can't you see

Constantly overpowered by what I can't be

Maybe peace is a rope in a tree

You have no idea what it's like to be me

Author's Note

Just let me know what you think. (ignore the lack of punctuation)

This certainly rings true in certain situations. I think you should use 'til instead of till. But that's only one ignorable suggestion. I like this poem; nice and simple, and full of emotion.
