Face In The Crowd

Please No CSS

The blade eats my flesh

Blood drips down my arm

My body starts to tremble

Setting off a silent alarm

 

Why am I doing this

Could it get better

As I thought about it

And wrote my final letter

 

So what do I have

To make me celebrate life

I have no family to speak of

And never had a loving wife

 

I've never had the things

That makes a person proud

Rarely go to parties

And never put life into a crowd

 

So now here I sit

My last breath upon me

As I start to die

I realize now, that I am free

 

Author's Note

A little darker than my normal stuff.

Wow Brandon! Ya, quite a bit darker than I'm used to seeing from you. I like it alot. Not too over the top. Great rhyming, as always. I think the first like should be "the blade eats my flesh". Take the s off. ;)
I like this. Can't say too much more. It's sad though.

I like the darkness... Love the depression behind in... its very strong... Everyone feels like this at one point in life... and i think u did a good job of capturing it!

If you have really experienced this (The feeling more so than the act...)
Then we are very much alike..

Another heart-wrenching write...
