Pieces of Eternity (Seasons Finale)

Maybe it’s unacceptable Live a life capable of a true fable True friends never end But take you back to where it all began But hey misery gave us something to believe in Stress became a greater award as we achieved sin What could I say? Our savior died on a cross tough as pig skin Never once cried over the loss Forbidden fruit, Eden garden Excuse me, my lord, I beg your pardon And so what if these medics carry life in a carton But I ain’t trippin Simply because this is me until my dying day Please stop crying, you know I can’t stay I’m going to be the same until my dying day Over in that casket is where I’m trying to lay That’s right until my dying day True lost souls from the dark side Forever, we as mortals ride Peace is nothing, I fend for quiet time Rebels in riot lines Previous high school graduates Symbols of an adjective running toward fate True personality suffer the privilege of inmates How could you hesitate to ask There’s no stranger under this mask Lonely and unholy, who’s there to console me? I want to get away, forever restless You can see my similarities with the ocean I’m stress less Because this is me until my dying day Please stop crying, you know I can’t stay I’m going to be the same until my dying day Over in that casket is where I’m trying to lay My son, my friend We are but pieces of eternity Mesh on, mesh off Even at our best times we’re soft Who’s to say I’d regret my decision To lead a sinners life without God’s supervision On a one man mission And I know I don’t come around much Got my palms in reality Searching for something softer to touch Whisper in my ear, death makes me blush And Hell only flatters me One and one, through matter the winds scatter me I ain’t trippin, baby girl get off your knees You’re in the arms of a future me And I can’t see heaven from a distance Fire me over clouds like a piston Marching through blood But it’s all mud and water to Darkhouse Stand still let me mark my spouse Live my life as an outcast How could you even picture me at my last? Dear lord show some mercy on my followers Bless those that swallow dust to follow us No need to borrow sympathy Unforgiving sorrow made my enemies envy me

Wow! That read like a rap song. Great rythum and stresses. No bad words here. Nice touch. I was a little disturbed by your choice to live as an outcast. You have such strength as evidenced by this write that I wish you would hop on over and get a new grip. Study 'bout God's word and take heaven's trip.... It's all good. Congratulations on having your poem featured this week. PS if I misunderstood, please let me know.
