I Am Slowly Dying
There are not enough tears to form from my eyes/
I cannot feel my face from time to time/
Sorry, if I left you all alone from this moment on/
Because I cannot talk, I cannot speak, I cannot write, I cannot feel this poem/
Oh, God I wish I was lying/
To all my loved one's out there/
Don't cry for me just hold on with despair/
I will never leave you all alone/
This poem or song will forever live on/
I pray please God give all my loved one's your strength they need/
After they bury my body and then cover me with grass seed/
I am slowly dying/
I have seen the darkness and the light/
And please don't worry this will not be my last poem/
Just think of me as a little bird singing it to you all my song/
Trust me I have written so many that I actually lost count/
I think it's all in one of my old shoe boxes underneath the couch/
I cannot beat the inevitable/
But my only promise to you all I will not end up like a vegetable.
