Listen to poem:
I'm still here, count the seconds, now I know Not for long though "How long?" Your guess is as good as mine Time to dive deep How I miss that Not our night Can one see their end? "Rather not know if I could" Inevitable All I can do is apologize Still stepping strong The harsh grip around the neck "High Class" was said Surrounded by cobwebs "Come on now, let's not allow your true self to be known before the end". Still things to do "This world is a lie, haha, if you choose to see." They said. Could you handle it any other way? Numb Revert back, done things differently? It has already been done. Afraid to rest, pushed too far this night "I can condone what I have done for it is you that put me here" All I ask: do not let me repeat Let this soul finally sleep

maybe I lingered too long at the harsh grip around the neck..... It certainly evoked feelings !

Wasn't my aim though I understand one may think like that. Many layers to acceptance I felt that night. Thank you for your comment :)
