Six Feet Deep

By Tangent Ponderings

Pen in hand
These lines I write
Every day
Another fight

I hope for the best
But expect the worst
My life a tragedy
One giant curse

The fear I have of loneliness
Brings me further out of touch
The very things that feed my soul
Do nothing more than eat a hole

Now hearing noises
In my head
Going crazy
Should be dead

I try to live
Try to fight
Awake and thinking
Every night

The words I spit
I soon forget
Six feet deep
Inside a pit

Begging for acceptance
But fearing
And feeling
An evil presence

For now…
My life has gone to shit
Six feet deep
Inside a pit

Yet I still have
My life to live
And only myself
To forgive

And in the end
The pain will quit
Six feet deep buried
In my pit

Everyone else is wrong... the poem is good, the idea is good, but the rhymes are forced. Let go of ABAB, and control your rhymes... don't let them control your words ;)
