I'm Alive

an assignment. i had to start and end the poem with the same line. -enjoy-

 

I’m Alive

through everything

Come and Gone

here I lay

surrounded by Cold Sterileness

mechanical Music

that won’t stop

I’m never alone

always someone with me

watching me

my chest rises

and falls

Slowly

Steadily

in tune with the music

I’m a Puppet

Mastered by Machines

no one knows

I know what’s happening

what’s happened

the Pills

the Alcohol

both didn’t work

so here I lay

in a sleep

I don’t want to wake from

Ever

I’m Alive

Ooooooh.... I like this, I really do. It's got an irony to it. The way you know what's going on, but nobody else knows you know, and the way that you're alive--more alive than you want to be--are awesome themes. I didn't really get it until the middle to end of the poem, but that's okay; it made it all the better. You did a great job! :D
