I killed myself

I killed myself





I killed my self just yesterday
I carried a weight that felt like a boulder
I was going to kill someone else
So God patted me on my shoulder

I tried real hard like everyone else
To keep everything clean and landscaped
I tried real hard to keep him inside
But the monster one day escaped

Did I kill him or did he kill me
That’s what I want to know
To stop his madness and protect you all
The both of us had to go

My best friend died just yesterday
Yeah I shot him right in the head
I took away his pain and his emptiness
I took away all of his dread

I fought real hard believe me I did
But my life was just too incomplete
And now they’re turning out the lights
And pulling up the sheets

in you there is a cave, in it weird things are happening. you just showed us part of the dark cave inside you. For writing in such a style i wonder....

Good flow but kind of dark! I don't get the feeling your suicidal...but maybe that death is when we finally come to peace!! (i hope)

Be interesting to know what inspired this writing...

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
