Dead

Bam.
I died,
They cried,
My pride, smeared,
My life, disappeared,
And into the ground I hide,
With only my sins by my side,
And with fear I was obliged to adhere,
With no other direction I could possibly steer
And as I lay rotting in my own destiny,
The others forgot, felt no empathy,
Was it my fate to be forgotten?
Planned since I was begotten?
Or is there an end in sight,
A place with no fright,
But I lay there instead,
In the ground, spread,
Inbed in my grave,
I still had lain,
Dead.

The use of the rhyming pattern certainly gives a spark to this poem. I like the message embedded in the theme. There will be days when we feel like we are dead; only to see the rising sun the next day and become alive. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Blessings, Joseph
