i wish i were dead

plain and simple i wish i were dead

I wish I were dead

Not a single comfort for my darkened, empty soul

I deserve this fate; bury me in this abyssal hole

Let me suffer for my sins, as I lay down my head

Accepting pain as my only companion; I wish I were dead

.

Object of disdain, a blemish on the world's perfect face

The serpent's shed skin, my father’s disgrace

I drink what is given, and I eat what I am fed

I feast upon bitter contempt; I wish I were dead

.

My hands have taken blood from another, and yet I live

In my greed, I am always taking, but never do I give

Hiding the evil within, I cower 'neath the covers of my bed

I wish the sheet to cover me completely; I wish I were dead

.

My soul longs for the end; to rot and decay,

But the doors here open inward; they only open one way

So I plead for an escape, wishing another would take my stead

Sadly, no hope will ever come; I wish I were dead

This is very sad...do you really wish you were truly dead...or was this just how you felt when you wrote it? It has a lot of emotion and i do like how you repeat that line, it's just sad how people feel this way. They feel so hurt that they think the only way to end it is through death. It breaks ones heart to see people go through things and emotions like this. You did do a good job writing and expressing the emotions through the poem though.
