Best Poems Written by Zachary Crawford

I Am Dying

I am lost, I am puzzled
I am not free, I have been smothered
I have been hurt, I have been hustled
I have hesitated, I have stuttered
I am confused, I am flustered
I am alone, there is no other
Not my father, nor my mother
Not my sister, nor my brother
Not one word, not one utter
I have been muted, I have been muzzled
I need someone, I need another
Because I am lost, I am puzzled

I can’t take it, I am dying
I cannot stop, from always crying
And always weeping, and sometimes whining
I have said, no more trying
No more running, no more flying
No more walking, no more lying
No more crawling, right on the lining
I mostly find, myself sighing
But of course, still denying
That me myself, am relying
On others that, are implying
That I can’t take it, I am dying

I am lost
I can’t take it
I am puzzled
I am dying
I have been tossed
Still not awaken
A piece of clutter
That’s not supplying
For the cost
I must pay it
Without a mutter
I am dying.
