Cry

GOD! WHAT AM I? What Am I? what am i?… I am less than I hoped to be Not, what I dreamed to be. I am Perfectly flawed And framed in pain. I have wasted my flesh Chasing rashly, fantasies I wished to posses Torment is my brother And loneliness My closest friend I am sinking Deeper and deeper Near the end END! I Want It To End. The torture, God! Let it end, let it end… How long, how long, … How long will it go on And it was wrong So very wrong Again and again and again. I am, I am Perfectly flawed And framed in pain.

MIchael, this is awesome, and I sure hope it is not reflective of how you feel about your own self because we are all of us flawed but hopefully not too many are in pain! I loved the way you patterned this too, bringing us back to the third stanza again with the ending.
