The Death of Me

The Death of Me

A Poem by Nicholas Antonio Young
"

Dark and depressing one. Not really any positive vibe like usual. But I still hope people like it. :)

"

I will tell you the depths of my heart in this

I don't need secrets, I don't need anything more or less

This entire life of mine, I've spent it dying rather than living

I've spent it suffering, yet still loving

Since the first day I saw light, and maybe even before

There's been this lonely hole inside my heart

And this hole keeps growing more and more.

Eclipsing me, consuming me.

Some say they know loneliness.

But do they know it like I do?

When my time is finished here, and flesh fades away,

Will there even be remains?

Will I even have bones left to tell my story?

Or will there just be an empty casket?

Because all I am is a hollow body

With an exhausted mind

And a dying soul


This is nearly everything I feel

A dying heart that love can't seem to heal

I am so sick and tired of this place

I don't need to win this race,

I don't even want to finish

I just want to return to that place

Where the birds are always singing

Where the sky is always blue

Where children are all laughing

Where that godly light, as white as snow

Will always make itself known

Where I can feel the sun's warmth again

I don't want to find security here

In the places the sun cant reach


There's nobody left to teach

It's not them who've gone though

It's just me.
