The Choice

[Rollingrrl]

THE CHOICE

Darkness folds over me at night
a liquid and shimmering black
my safety fades with the light
the dark seeking out my weakness.

Pain and horror, my true friends
bruises and blood stain my skin.
I'm at the edge, ready for the end.
Will I be missed, thought about by my kin?

The final choice, shall I stay or go?
Nothing but hurt and torment here,
this life is too full of pain and woe.
I long to leave behind, all I hold dear.

The final choice, shall I live?

Or shall I die?

Thats a great poem. I am glad it wasnt written recently (if it is a choice your contemplating)

The final choice, shall I stay or go?
Nothing but hurt and torment here,
this life is too full of pain and woe

I like that verse alot, keep it up

The choices we have to deal with daily and sometimes on a more significant level. This is good.
