My Life

Can't run from it Always a step behind The worst is I'm trapped In my own mind The end is near I can't keep trying Stop asking if I'm okay I'm tired of lying My fake smile is getting heavy Eyes can't hold back My mind has won DOne living in the black Going through the motions It's almost time to quit Most fear death But others like me Pray for it

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
