I'M Not Done Yet

These days death looks better than freedom
Better yet maybe death is my only freedom
My only friend
Sometimes I feel like I'm dying faster than most
And I'm ok with that but should I be
Normalizing the abnormal just to feel what they portray life to be
When should I be living for me
Don't get stuck trying to make copies at Kinko's 
When you're a blank canvas 
You are the artist, so they won't get the picture
The camera they use is out of date
But you always have fresh paint
Blending the past with the future to make something great
My past doesn't define me
But it is what started how I came to be 
Killing myself used to be, the best option
I'm no actor so this can't be a tragedy 
I'm an artist
I'm a work of art
Worth more than they can pay
Priceless 
Just like today
This moment is something no one can take away
Death will just have to wait
p.s. God still has something for me...
