Ode To Myself

I know I've been annoying 

But inside my head, I'm silent

Like the river stream

In my dead winter dreams

I don't know how life has been

Deep within has been depressing

Destroying my inner soul like burning coals 

In a fire pit that never dies out

Feel my heart beating

My spirit weeping, bleeding

With a gun on my head

Pull the trigger, I'm dead 

Not a word ever said 

As I lay on my bed breathless

Lifeless at seventeen

My lonely corpse at rest

I think I passed the test 

That my life has put me through

I've lived again anew, I knew 

My dearest dear in fear

The sirens within my ears, I hear

The pounding on my door

My floor flooded with blood

I know it's kind of sad

But now I'm living the life I've never had

That last stanza packs a punch...a brilliant punch. That, and the stanza before it, are marvelous. Your opening doesn't do the rest justice!

This is an extremely raw and hard-hitting piece. Reminds me of some of my old work actually, but I liked it nonetheless.
