Cemetery

I lay here in the Cemetery

With the stars above the night

The stones on every side of me

Casting shadows from the light

Surrounded by a Gothic fence

Of black iron towering so

Keeping the dead inside

-And keeping me all alone

My hand clutching my stomach

Of a bloody bullet wound

Or so my crazy mind would picture

In a state of vulnerable hues

Lying in this same spot now

Pondering the universe in my head

And thinking psychotically

About me hanging with the dead

For soon I'll be absorbed

Into the ground like the rest

With an epitaph so bitter-sweet

And state of mind so blessed

Author's Note

What happens when u have a fucked up mind. Also I reference Holden Caulfield in the bullet wound

I actually just read this poem because it was at the top of your list of many amazing poems. This poem really describes you. How does being in the cemetery so much feel, Grave Girl? Anyways, great poem. One-hundred out of one-hundred rating. (100/100):D

Wow. This is different perspective and sort of makes the cemetery not so quiet, but soft whispers of the afterlife. Thank you. Well penned.

Poe is amazing, I still read his stuff. My backyard has a cemetary backed up to it. Well there's a fence around it. May sound goofy but I think there's a ghost that walks around it around midnight every night.

[LazerRays]

hmm sounds nice. Ironically; i dont believe in ghosts but yet i like imagining them to talk to. :P i believe in demons and living. no ghosts hahahah, but who knows; i could be wrong. Believe in what you wish ;) thank you for this lovely review!

my pleasure miss poe

[Ghost writer]

this poem is so good, it gives me the feeling of actually being in the cemetery, like I am also a grave girl, it had such emotion and truth, it's like showing people the dark side of how they act so they might try harder.
I quote that like of Poe all the time, no one ever knows what I'm on about. this poem was beautiful, though I wasn't exactly like that I can relate, I didn't make friends with the dead though most who know me agree that does sound like me, but when I was a kill I had imaginary enemies instead of imaginary friends.
great job Sarah!

[LazerRays]

I love how you’re writing is so different from most.
p.s : talking to yourself isn’t weird and there’s no crime in being a little unique in this monotones world :)

[LazerRays]

[Julie Skyes]

Your welcome :)

Oh Sarah, you can learn a lot from the dead they whisper of life, they tell us of the folly, remind us what is important and channel our writings to flow! I too love Poe and you channel him very nicely please don't stop. that was so pretty (and somber) but to my ears just pretty

[LazerRays]

You can definitely learn a lot from the dead! Thank you for the review! And it's always a compliment that makes me smile when people say i portray Poe nicely :D

So many people claim to understand perfectly what goes through the mind of someone suicidal. I contend that they do not - until they are at the brink of the pit themselves, with nowhere else to turn.

Suicide, real suicide, is not meant to harm other people. It is our way out of a terribly desperate situation. I think people forget that stress can build in someone to the point - they just can't take it anymore.

I'm better now, thanks to anti-psychotic medications. And recommend for anyone that is indeed feeling the press, the pit of helplessness, and the mania of delusion, consider seeing a psychiatrist to get your life back on track. I did, it works. It works with me.

Thanks for sharing your poem, Sarah, and wish you happier times ahead !

[LazerRays]

Thank you so much for your review! I appreciate you stopping by! I agree with you on the suicidal part!

You're very welcome. Take care ...
