Pedantic at best
Browned on the top
Just like the rest

Dying to Live

INSPIRATION, Life, Poem, Poetry, Writing, WRITING PROMPTS

My life began with a funeral
An odd thing, but true
I didn’t appreciate life
Until this break through

I had spent my whole life
Living not to die
No risks, no thrills
Doing enough to get by

Bleeding Out

It started with a little prick
A tiny drop of blood
Little did I know that drop
Would turn into a flood

You Lied To Me

Graced the trees
Multicolored
Gentle breeze

Drowning in darkness
Perpetual night
Swimming in blackness
Absence of light

Awaken

Fruitless struggle
Every trial I face
Leads me right back
To this shadowy place

Awaken

And Ode to My Mother

From the moment I was born
To the present we now share
You’ve never missed a moment
You’ve always been there

You put everyone’s needs
Before your own
You still make this sacrifice
Though I’m all grown

Unbearable pain
Running full throttle
To ease my discomfort 
I dive into the bottle

I open my eyes;
it is so dark.
Blinking furiously,
waiting for my eyes
to adjust to the light.
Nothing changes.

Still pitch black.
