I Am

A selfish liar for hire Setting fire To more than rain The pain Succumb to numb, Become someone Dying Flying higher Than our crying I’m supplying Something dark and Dangerous It’s been fun for us Guess I’ll see What we’ll be Once the feeling leaves Reach the sea Wait I paint The sighs Of my delights Across the skies Only know why I wanna die Not why I’m still alive You’ll hear My fear Blood clumping I’m jumping We’ll find each other On the other side

I hope this doesn't come across as flippant... I am amazed at how you incorporated such darkness into such a light and airy poem. Your rapid rhymes are impeccably entwined with a superb rhythm. Well done, my friend.
