I'm Dead

Kiss the sky
Live or die
Either way,
I’m dead.

If I go for the ground then you’ll miss me.
If I walk around with a frown,
I’m being overly dramatic.
Let me say I’m not happy
And you can ask my pappy
A smile was never fitted for my face.

If I laugh with you
Then I’m lying.
I’d say I’m not depressed
But that would be the truth.
I’m just tired of living for everyone else.
So I figure what else do I have to loose?

I’ve already lost my freest of spirits.
I wallow away in your gloom.
The only true glimpse of happiness
Lives seventeen hours away.

I have friends who want me to stay
What they don’t know is if I do then I’m doomed.
Because I’ve forged my own life
And I wish not to fight.
I just want a sharp knife to turn the black and the white
To dark reds in the earliest of which was once midnight.
And to hear my mothers cry.

Will she do like she did
When she buried her first.
Will she beckon my sister
And treat her much worse
Then labeling her the curse
Of what should not be risen?

I’m done with division
No longer can I be divided.
Damn it I’m broken!!
My heart is a token
Of what love was once considered to be.

Like a tumor it festers.
You're damn right I’m clever
But what is to become of me?

If I…
Kiss the sky
Live or die
Either way,
I’m dead.

Thats funny but thats actually one of my favorite lines. And yeah, this poem will have to speak for itself. I don't want to tell too much about myself. never know if I'll ever be famous. But if i ever did decide to tell teh story of my life, lets just say it be a best seller. lolz

It is a bit sad, it seems as if this person has gone through a lot in life, maybe even had a troubling childhood. I personally liked the lines:

I’m not happy
And you can ask my pappy
A smile was never fitted for my face

Though it is sad to think that a father would say that to his daughter, it still made me giggle because of the way it was ironicly phrased in the poem. Really, nice work.
