Finality

Hello, my name is your death wish.
Hello, my name is forgotten.
Hello, my name is beyond your reach of comprehension.
Hello, my name is lost inside a sea of voices.

Welcome to reality,
the face of inequality.
Welcome to self hate;
welcome to, too late.

Please take off forgiveness, leave it at the door.
Please twist your face in a mask of, painfully sure.
Sure of all the worthlessness, now.
Sure that you're a relic of the past, now.

Oh, take a bow, you've played an important part;
in the demise of what we now call the world.
Say goodbye to serenity,
say hello to calamity.

The end of everything is taking place,
unsurpassed in anguish, this is calmer; this space.
May the courage be remembered,
hello to finality; it's finally over.

    Refreshing!

    Unlike some of the other comments.......I too am a composer of music and song.
    I LIKE the first line....It details the rest of the poem!
    Yes it is dark....but in a satirical way. The verbiage is concise and well placed. I DO like this offering>
    I suspect a rather slow etherial sound would make this come alive....echoes at the microphone in specific spots would be a great touch. Just a suggestion.
    Nice job

  • i agree with one of the other readers, this is kind of gloomy. i don't particularly like gloomy and dark reads. i read this through and could not relate. the writing itself is good.

    Excellent! I loved reading it, and I could definitely see this sung along to a piano. The first stanza was a perfect way to open this piece. Thanks for sharing!

    Fantastic

    I really, really liked it. It takes some bad past experiences to understand this poem/song. But its meaning was. . . SO understandable.

    The lyrics suggest some sort of hell. A seperation from God's love. I don't like it, it's gloomy, lol.

      hahah it's not really about a seperation from god's love, seeing as that's kinda what I'm trying to surround myself in.
      but yes, it's gloomy. :]

      thanks for the comment!
