Your Own Shadow Will Stay Behind?

Slit wrists and throats,
For the weak ones.
Executions,
For the scared.
Hangings,
For the sad ones.
Overdoseing,
For those who fear.

I qualify for each,
And every damned one.
I知 weak, I知 scared, I知 sad, I fear.
And I値l scream from the rooftops,
I値l yell it across the boiling seas,
I値l sing it from brisk aired mountains,
Lord can you help me?

Doctor do you know what ails me?
For I have not a clue.
He whispers across the dim lit room,
In a funny show tone way.
We all are dying.
It is not about knowing the day,
Rather your output in each and every way.
So he licks his two front fingers,
And with a ghastly gasp,
He chocks the candle痴 wick.
A flame has lost its life
Yet in the light does dwell,
The remainder of its smoke,
And an eerie dusky smell.

What will you leave behind?

Please tell me what you think

    Wow!! I read your page before I read this poem so I had a bit of background information, but this is extremely powerful on its own. While I have not had to deal with the issues you have been through, I have been through my own, and I can relate to the uncertainty and fear that comes with it, and can only imagine how much worse it is for some. Powerful piece, Nice write. Love the ending.

    is an exquisite line!

    then;

    A flame has lost its life
    Yet in the light does dwell,
    The remainder of its smoke,
    And an eerie dusky smell.

    Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is something out of a sci fi fiction horror movie. The fear, taste upon the tounge. You have successfully transmitted me into this person! I think, feel, and see everything about this person, and it's very scary... The last line was nothing short of genius! What will you leave behind, has so many meaning, None the same. Great work, I look forward to reading more!
