Nobody

That one will die like all the rest
But in a way we dare not test

Cirlce the rim of the sharp, jagged glass
Forget the words that hand in the past

"She's nothing more," he said with a grin
"Than a useless nobody that has worn thin."

A pale excuse that shakes me numb
Tell no one what I've become

I'll plead with you to solemly swear
When time runs short for me, you won't be there

For I'm a nobody, a killer at best
Slowly preparing to take the holy rest

Tell me angle, have you come
To take back the soul that tried to run

Turn the corner and turn the page
A dying bird inside a cage

I can't turn my hear or look away
For killing me, I'd hope you'd stay

I read some of the comments...... I didn't see the dark even tho it might be there..... This piece reminded me of the ups and downs of life..... the good and bad...... God's words says the bad is for the good...... Not only that His word also say's we are just a vapor in time........... def a 10 red

It shocks me that anyone could have given you less than a 10. // I'm also on Shine, a Yahoo blog site, under the name PoetWithCancer. Shine is not exclusively for poets, but it is another good place for your poetry, and also a place for any prose you may have written. No contests; just comments // I wish I could give you another 10, but this dang thing won't let me! // The dark side is real and should be looked at and explored. But don't forget the light. Albert Camus wrote: "The great courage is to look as squarely at the light as at the darkness." Love your life and live your life fully. Don't take anything too seriously; nothing lasts forever. But life lasts long enough to love it and to live it. // Love, --PoetWithCancer aka Mr. Poet

*DEATH IS COMING * (to a smart poetic 15-year-old, form a 59-year-old cancer victim) *** Death is very close to me. / Every step I take, is on the slippery edge / Of cold eternity. / You are only 15, just barely beginning to fledge. / Yet you are wise to know / That death is not going to let anyone go. --PWC aka Mr. Poet // Your poem is well written and full of pathos and truth. For me, the two most pesonal lines, which I will now make mine: "This one will die like all the rest. / But in a way you dare not test." // Good job. But don't forget to love life and enjoy the moment. 10.

Very dark C. Scary too. A little disturbing. I suppose you meant it to be that way. I like it though. You have a distinct style with your writing. You seem to have nice grasp of the English language. I bet you're very smart. You really should work on developing your talent. You can do that in school. Take advantage of your English classes at school and don't be afraid to share what you've written. This is a very good work. Thanks for sharing it.... K

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
