If I Die Before I Wake

At a corner standing in despair I cried aloud into the midnight air Brought my fists into a rage Scowled at my lonely, self-hate I had no friends or even close family, All I had was my imagination, and it was driving me crazy So I hollered and screamed like a wild banshee Cursing the things I couldn't grasp in my psyche The shadows stalked while my heart just bled I was praying to God that within his next miracle I would be dead Just like a relic an angel came to me Eased me of my faults and lulled me into a dream A beautiful world where hope is a beacon and despair is gone from sight I grabbed her hand and remembered all of a sudden Of love that gentle rhythm; and my depression escaped without a fight So as my eyes twitched open and I quickly looked around Just like that the angel was gone and so was my frown If you read this poem please quote only this In this world our love and compassion is the only thing that should exist
