As i slip into my endless sleep
I ask you not to cry
For now i will see the one i love
and find my forgiveness in the sky
In this life i have loved
and i have laughed
But had my share of pain
So please dry your tears
for i do not deserve these
I missed many chances in my life
never really took risks
and saw all my dreams crushed to mist
I can admit this isn't the life i wanted
and for that i still regret
I can also say that i never did submit
I still didn't give to them
the helpless pup they wanted
I use to have wings
but they were clipped
And i was shoved in a cage
no hope for escape
That is why i built another pair of wings
out of blood, tears, and sweat of all things
I can feel it coming
again i ask don't cry
For i shall find my true wings when i die
Author notes
I try to live life too its fullest, but this is how i feel everyday. I know if i die tommorrow my thoughts would be on this poem. I'm sorry if it sounds emo, but it really is just a truth poem about myself. ^_^

Another very beautiful piece written by you. We should all live life to the fullest because we never know when our last day will be.... You wrote this with alot of very believable emotion and I applaud you for that, not many can write like that, alot of times they come off feeling contrived. Congrats on the bronze here it was very deserved

I believe this can be even better if the rhyming is kept consistent all the way through. And that comes from a poet who writes a lot of free verse herself. Very well done with the Bronze trophy and it's a great message, just would be better constructed I believe with the rhyming. And if you think it sounds emo, it doesn't, not to me. It's almost beautiful in a way.
