A Change Before the End

Please, liberate me from this life--

This bronze-plated, ill-fated lie.

Take it apart, I’m begging, please.

I need something new. I’m on my knees.

I feel like I might be disappearing.

The joy I’d found is dissipating.

The end I sense may be nearing.

It is all of yours now for the taking.

I’ve broken down to grains of sand

To be poured away by a hundred hands.

I’ll join the sea indiscernible--

Rising on winds stinging eyes so cruel.

Desert me, or take me far from here.

I cannot stay this way for years.

I require a change of pace or scene

For there’s so much that yet remains unseen.

This should be the beginning of it all.

I should not feel this fateful fall.

The end will come inevitable.

The time it takes is variable.

I should not fear or beg for it now

For it shall come too soon anyhow.

Give me life till that time shall come.

I need it now before all is gone.

this is very beautiful...I love the last two lines especially... sometimes life could make one feel that way

All of need something unknown. Just must find it. I could feel the frustration in your words. Sometime we must hope for things to fall or we must create change. Thank you for sharing the powerful and outstanding poetry.
