John Boak Poet Rhyme

Death Seems Appealing ( a Man's Desperate Cry)

There was a time when I was hopeful
When the world seems to be a place joyful
Living this life was very delightful
Inspite of the illness that was so painful

I fooled myself to believing that I'm wanted
When the truth is I am not really needed
I told her what I wanted and begged and pleaded
 She declined and now to be dead is what I want instead

A morbid loneliness now tears at my soul
Oh help me God but I am no longer whole
I can't have back the woman fate stole
My world is now as black as coal

I now feel like I can no longer stand the pain
In purgatory my soul will always remain
In fighting for life I now have nothing to gain
Forever my heart will be singing a sad refrain

It turned to be wrong all the things I was believing
It wasn't true the things my soul had been perceiving
I now know that I am really in truth nothing
Knowing this in my heart makes death seem so appealing
