The Graveyard

Written back in November '15

I sit upon the hallowed ground

Observing not a sound

Save the deafening silence that is death

I look at the headstones

Markers of forever homes

Of those who have taken last breath

I feel at home here

Not a flicker of fear

I want to join these chosen few

To be buried in dirt

To no longer hurt

to become Earth that is new

For this is our fate

To be covered in slate

To be alone but surrounded by bones

Bones, maggots, and flies

Reserved for the one that dies

And forever leaves this Earthly home

My soul is long forgotten

My bones forever rotten

Turned to dust with the passage of time

My soul stays intact

My body, attacked

Neither of these are mine
