Soul for fameA Poem by Anonymous -
Been thinking about that night ,
On my knees , hands clasped , Praying to the six , Told him I'd do what it took , Just take my soul , Give me my every wish and desire , But nothing came of it , But a laugh , silly grin , and an empty feeling in my stomach. Fast forward , shouldn't I have died , laid on the hearse , I must have received a curse , I keep looking behind , seeing shadows crawl , spiders dance , moths flying , Hearing the ground crack under my feet , Watching out to not step on it , And fall into my nightmares. Fast forward , shouldn't I have died , Why have some dreams come true , Was it you ? She laid next to me , looking into my eyes , Muttering how they were soulless , True story , but I laugh , grin , but feeling something in my stomach , Did it come true , I wonder. I prayed for it to come , to be touched with talent and gifts , to achieve , Fast forward , things are coming naturally , Doing things never thought of , Seeing a future possibility unfold , Did I sell it ? Maybe I sold my soul , but success is earned not given , But what if I made a deal with the devil , As a joke , with my life being used as a punchline ? I'm laughing , grinning , because I know something you don't , Starts with a six , ends with a six , and I'm the one to tell you. But you're not reading between the lines are you ? Because I did in fact , sell my soul But I'm using it to stay on this dreaded hell hole of a planet , But to create something to be loved , desired , appreciated. Because I didn't sell my soul to be loved , But to love the ones I wish to enrich , Fast forward , I'm dead , age forty , Slit wrists , laid on a canvas of blood , Picture of a smiling face , Engraved with the words ...... It was always going to be , but no one believed me when I said , Id become famous , but not in the way you think , Because you're still not reading between the lines. This is my suicide letter , to explain my suicide letter , The one that hasn't been mailed. © 2015 Anonymous - |
