From the first breath
I ever took

I watched my mother
give the
saddest look

It was that day
I found my fear
It went
through me
with every tear

As I grew
I came
to learn
I saw this world
for its wicked turn

Amongst a crowd
I tried to fit in
behaving shy
they screamed
and shout

Preferred the dark
hidden from light
I got taught
to live in doubt

From every hour
I had to fight
there was a heart
I held so dearly tight
My childhood and adult life

I don’t live
I exist
between life and death
through the mist
amongst the dreams
clinging on to our past

I’m done with this writing
I keep aiming for perfection
I used to be smiling
Now it’s become an obsession
Andrew Jan 2023
I’ve had enough
I want this to end
no more poems
about us being friends

I need to leave now
I got to move on
I do have a plan
its time to stay strong

I must remember
I’m not here to impress
I’m here for my sorrows
to put everything to rest

I’m scared to see you
what if it goes wrong
my amends takes a turn
I know you’ll be gone
One day, It may come true.
And I can possibly stop all this writing
Andrew Jan 2023
I often wonder
do you think of me
like I think of you,
dare I say it,
do you ever miss me
like I miss you,
and if you do,
if it’s true
either way
I’m so deeply sorry
for what I’ve done to you
Andrew Jan 2023
I don’t want to die
but there are days
I don’t want to live
be brave they say
It’s just a belief
which I find
In some way
a complete lie
but it gives me hope
some type of relief
Andrew Jan 2023
don’t be afraid
when you see me this way
I don’t want to stay
just be with me
on my very last day
