Jun 2010
It seems that through the years
I have shed my fair share of tears

And the blood coursing through my veins
Have become far more like chains

Life is long and filled with horrors
Seen by only brave explorers

And of course those who’s eyes
Are open as they hear their cries

Others curl up and ignore
Everything forevermore

The world is crumbling in front of me
And now I know only I could see

The way humanity fell apart
Through my icy and numb heart

I fought for years to save you all
But alas! You did not hear my call

No more heaven and no more hell
I won’t remain and I will not dwell

My death will be my own
So you can see the seed you have sown

The spawn of hatred to your fellow creature
No longer will I be your preacher

I will be silent till the end of days
And when you’re gone I will bask in the rays

Of the warm, warm sun and the cool, cool moon
And now I will die all too soon

The chains will fall away
And leave me to play

In a world destroyed
In this great wide void

And now I can smile
At least for awhile

Because soon I will die
And then I can lie

On the ground in peace
And my body will release

My soul to the stars
And I will never have to see my scars

My tears will dry
And I will not cry

For the deaths I have seen through the years
I know I hold no fears

I can be calm now
And take my final bow
I wrote this when I was home sick from school.
