Thing We Had To Do For School

I am a sick man… I am a spiteful man.
The years have passed me by
Why couldn’t I have made a stand
I lie in bed, wondering why

I am a sick man… I’m a regretful man.
The years have passed me by
All that time I could have ran,
But now it’s too late to fly

I am a sick man… I’m an unhappy man.
The years have passed me by
I could well have saved her life
But I didn’t, and now I die

I am a sick man… I’m a dying man.
The years have passed me by
Now it’s far too late to change
It’s time to say goodbye

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 help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
