Slowly Dying

As I lay here
 Agony clawing
Flowing tears
 I am bawling.

Crying over fate
 Over my rotten luck
Cursing this last mate
 Knowing I'm a schmuck.

Wishing I was better
 Wishing I was smart
Yet this pain does fetter
 And stays in my heart.

Can I be the same?
 No nothing can be
As life is not a game
 But this is just me.

Always fighting
 Always trying
Always writing
 Slowly dying.

A beautifully written poem, this is what life is, the moment we are born, it start to feed us, slowly slowly and the problem is that we don t even realize that we are coming one step closer to death, eventually we dies and on most occasionfail to complete only one task that s toearn our salvation, to do righteous deeds, good luck and yeah I also hafe a similar poem, the last pray of a dyig person, I ll really appreciate if you could find time to reas it and let me know how it is
