Dying In My Sleep

my life starts to fade to black
i struggle as i lose my breath
and when im gone i won't come back
i scream until theres nothing left

then i start to slowly die
6ft under in the ground
i scream but no one hears my cry
i scream but no one hears a sound

im buried under fear and guilt 
im buried under dirt and tears
my scarred arms, so pale and thin
ive waited for this pain for years.

Odd to want pain? There are nicer ways to feel being alive. Thought provoking verse. Light & Love

Very well constructed and rhymed... this is Plath conventionally written... stark and uncompromising. BRAVO Catia! Best wishes, Keith
