Array ( [sid] => 53704 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Funeral [time] => 2004-06-25 19:01:03 [hometext] => This is something I wrote when I was falling apart, not that things have changed all that much and as far as the sippy cup goes I collect them and want to be buried with them, but here it goes. [bodytext] => I look around and they're all dressed in black.
I sense the caring they all lack.
I look into their eyes to see nobody crying.
Internally I'm peeling, internally I'm dying.
I look six feet down and realize it was I who died.
They told me they cared it turns out they all lied.
I peer at myself to see my wrist all bandaged up.
I guess somebody listened cuz I see my sippy cup.
It's buried with me along with my rainbow flag.
I guess my parents told their secret, told them I was a fag.
I went before the angels could call me back.
I guess I should have cut myself some slack.
But it turns out that I cut in another place.
My eyes are shut tight , and I look at a peaceful face.
My cries weren't loud enough to hear.
As I Iook at myself that becomes crystal clear.
But nobody can save me from myself.
Because my soul was in too poor of health.
Maybe things would be different if I was needed.
But perhaps I'm being selfish and conceited .
Willl I be favored in God's eyes?
Or will he turn me away with hate and despise.
I know I shouldn't have done it .
But I fell into a very dark pit.
Will the living ever forgive me?
I guess I will have to wait for their deaths to see.
In reality I'm the only one to blame.
I just didn't see life the same.
It hurts me to know that they didn't care.
And my pain was just too much to bare.
They couldn't have known what I felt.
With the life I have been dealt.
Did I think I wouldn't die that time?
Why was I so desperate so incredibly blind?
If I could change I know I would.
If only I felt differently I know I could.
If only I had a magical wand.
But without me life still goes on. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 32 [informant] => rainbowtearz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Indeed this is sad. I truly hope your days are better and do not dwell on what will be over when you die. I've cried my tears while I am alive, I refuse to be sad after. June
