A Pitiful Verse
Painted face
Hollow chest
Quiet and peaceful
Lay me to rest
Remember me
Let me be
Forever unforgotten
As I’m locked in your memory
Lay me down
Lay me in peace
Have this anger be kindled
Have this hate be ceased
Have my mind rest
My soul be at ease
Release it to be free
Back to he who created me
Material goods
Now serve no purpose
My life centered around things
That now are so worthless
I speak to my family
No words can they hear
I should have taken the chance
Back when I had their ear
Can this poem be enough?
Can this fix a life’s worth?
Can I change a lifetime of guilt
Over one pitiful verse?
Please god I beg
Can’t I have one more chance?
I know time must stop
But is this the last dance?
It’s now time for judgement
I’ve never been so afraid
Surrounded by light
Trying to hide in the shade
Trying to escape
Trying to get away
Then I awake…
Today’s a brand new day
