Gone

Would they notice if I was gone. It sounds just like a country song. If they did would be relief? Or anger, grief, or disbelief. Was I loved on my final rest? Be nice to know and not to guess. Would they speak on my behalf? Would they cry? Would they laugh? Or would it be an average day? Close the box and walk away. Well I had feelings and a soul. Even brains, or so I'm told. I even had a stupid phone. That never rang and felt alone. If back's and text is all I get. Should not I feel some regret? I hurt myself couldn't move. While working midnight's afternoon. Four long years in bed with pain. Begging GOD to take away. Thankful for my Fam and friends Who should stand beside me to the end Should have my back right or wrong Or so I thought That's why I'm gone. A thousand minutes in every day Would have taken one. To check on me.......

Anthony, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
