I shiver in fright Secluded sadly far beyond the light An imprisoning life sentence amidst my mind In this blinding darkness there lay nothing to find The hollow and horrid, they harvest my being Happiness, I am quite longed from seeing Peevish people persist to ripen; I shall rot still This mundane mortality is merely nil Why can’t you all stay away I love you – never dare say I wish not of your considerable care For a brutal burden I ever bear Just neglect this nuisance that is me There is else than you’ll ever see Do not carelessly infer my existence dear When I go - forfeit not a tear “A child’s mind, sorrow had slave” Carve it so sweetly on my grave My sunken soul was life’s own blunder Finally bent content six feet under Yet, if my mind torments me still When the clouds rumble and the sky festers ill Heed closely to the grieving gusts that be The soft, muffled whimpers of tattered agony Eerie echoes valor along branches over head A granted wish waned sour upon the dead Yet, who knows about his relentless decay Only I can wait it out – this eternal stay
