As I Lay here, dying

As I lay here dying

Its real hard but im trying

to live my life, the best I can

but these flames

too strong to fan



Forever is such a long time to wait

I cant remember myself up to today

I guess this must be fate

I feel so far away

I hope to find myself again one day

Im stuck between the pages of this book

I only took one look

but thats all it took



Im so far behind

but ill keep reading, Ill catch up some day

one day ill be gone

im never gonna look back

because courage is something i do not lack



I have to stop looking out this window

I have to stand up and get ready to go

I have to win this fight

The enemy I will smite

until the end, when i see the light

in the middle of the night

Damn your writing really kicks ass...each poem I read I can relate to you more and more...I go through alot of the same shit as you do...or at least it sounds like it...if you ever wanna talk about things to vent...talk to me i'm kelseykicks11... sometimes its good to vent stuff to a person you dont know personally...I do it all the time!...but ne ways... I really liked the fact that you weren't a pansy ass and cussed it really gave your poem more too it! Keep writing I am looking forward to more stuff! catch you later! bye

I think this is cool, and you rhymed pretty good on it.
you will be back one day, man...we all will. when we take that one look, and finally see the "real" us at that moment and begin to understand who we are...we no longer regret as we did before...we no longer have to look back.Like i said in "shadow of death(my epitaph)", -the path behind me closes, though the path before parts, i don't know where i'm going while the darkness is slowly flowing out from my heart...- you remind me alot of myself when i started writing...except you are different. that's a compliment. Keep it up, and i will keep reading your stuff.
