Array ( [sid] => 12240 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => tell......... [time] => 2003-02-08 23:40:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I look up at you from the floor where I lie
I heard voices telling me to be brave yet still I cry
everything's dark the only thing I can see is your face
hot tears spill down my cheeks
if this is my fate then be what it must
I didn't know I'd be going so soon
so many times I wished for death
but here it is and I want to wish it away
your face begins to sway
my vision starts to fade
I try to hold on but can't
god help me
who're those people in the room that I can hear?
they're reaching for me saying my time is near
I'm not ready please don't take me
I hear another voice saying that someone will be gone soon
who's going?
I can't think straight
please help me think
I'm falling into darkness
at the brink of ending
tell my mom I'm not mad anymore
tell my dad I love him and thanks for being there
tell my friends I'll miss them and they were all great
tell.....

First off, welcome to YPDC. Glad to have you among our community.

I enjoyed reading this poem. It reminds me of a story I read many years entitled Play and written by Jane Pek. The message... and the method of expression are good. I also enjoy the imagery and mindframe description you used. Thanks for posting.

I came back to this poem and re-read it. I still love the presentation from the point of view of the individual and your imagery where you ask "who're those people in the room that I can't hear?" is wonderful.

The confusion of the individual at the end is strong, too, and helps to round the poem out.

The trailing ellipses punctuates the effect and makes me feel the poem. I love this piece.
