The Nightmare (Suicidal Thoughts)

Sometimes I feel like i wanna die I'm gettin tired of living and dats no lie So go get a casket, some flowers, and a shovel So I can go to hell and come face to face with the devil I'm going to tell him he's a coward to his face Then tell him move aside so I can take his place And if he tries to swing, I'll break his window Then send 64 at him like I'm playing Nintendo Or better yet send me up to the skies So I can see the Lord with my own eyes See if angels really fly with wings And if they do I'll get a pair of those things Maybe I can see my firends John and Tashawn Reminisce about playing football on the school lawn And I'll go talk to my aunt Te-Te To ask her where she put that Christmas CD I'm no longer alive in body, I'm just a spirit I'm calling peoples names but I doubt that they can hear it I'm merely a body of air wandering the earth I'll never have sex again, and I can't pretend that it don't hurt They say money can't come with you when you die I tried to bring it anyway but it wasn't worth the try There isn't anything up there you can buy There are no cars, no problem, I can just...glide Or just fly so opposite of low There is no better feeling than that you know I notice that I never ever ever get sleepy I can't get hurt, so you can't stab or shoot me Blessed with the ability to walk through bodies Went through a fat man and I saw beer and salami Went through a girl who was pregnant with a baby She had crack and coke in her system, shame on that lady Then I see a boy who looks like my reflection The only way to describe his look is perfection Just before I can say "wait" That is when I awake.......

Powerful emotions in this write, Richard-Jamaal. There are times when we all feel somewhat "lifeless" and question the purpose of our existence. Very thought-provoking poem! Best Wishes, Carolyn
