Sweet misery indeed

This is not how I feel in any way, it is simply a poem

 

How sweet are the words that whisper to me?

Whispering kind words of my death,

they tell me how the pain will stop,

my spirit will rise as my body will rest.

 

I contemplate the thought of it,

sweet misery indeed.

This thought, it does not let up,

constantly speaks to me.

 

My body broken,

rotted to the core,

sickness invades me

'till I am no more.

 

 

Is this voice the Devil inside?

Yet, it is making sense to me.

 

Without any drastic measures,

I simply, with this voice agree.

 

This hospital bed,

I am captive too.

All dignity gone,

just one thing to do.

 

I close my eyes and I let go,

slip away from my pain.

Release the burdons of loved ones,

my sickness drove insane.

 

 

My spirit will rise as my body will rest,

they tell how the pain will stop.

Whispering kind words of death,

how sweet are the words that whisper to me!

Right in my ear, My work has let me watch. People thrive ,their minds thrive on ,they pick two out of three, and feel good, they earn a B and feel good,but in reality they probably just lost their money, the dopamine in their heads makes them " feel" a positive interpretation , usually a financially , spiritual, moral ,blemish a hidden negative result, grows and grows. Dopamine "Feels" good,great....and me I feel guilty.

I love this:) I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it, my rr box is overflowing:) I've had moments like this, but never in a hospital bed bc for some reason I've never been in a major accident... Anyway, wonderful work:)

Really nice emotional write with pain and what seems like escape perhaps. Really nice write, I like the ending three stanzas.

[Manpreet]

Nice piece artistically penned!!

what a way of writing .. the first and the last stanza reversed throwing out such an intense meaning !

You speak of death as if you are close to it... Sweet misery indeed... Beautiful write...

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

We are a part of everything and everyone, so we can all write as if close to something good or bad as it is all a part of us, balanced and understood.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Very true... :)

[Pax]

It's like I, myself tasted the sweet mysterious misery...

Reread this and find that it is so beautifully constructed---a poetic message that should cause pondering in the hearts and souls of its readers. Very well done

This reminds me of a dream I had had once, where I died and my soul let go of my body. I awoke shaken, but it was a good dream and the way you describe slipping away, dying, has proven to hold most accurate to my dream. Awesome job!
