Farewell, Cruel World

It was a pleasure to burn The memories faded As I lit the match My eyes were jaded How dare they laugh and scorn At my dreams, my hopes My only freedom from this life Without which, I cannot cope I will soon be free and content To be what they will not let me I will be among my pride As a lion on the Serengeti So here’s to resurrection To be reborn as we truly are I as I tip the poison down my throat Farewell, cruel world.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
