Eyes burning,
Lungs aching
No one to save me,
I sink ever farther
The world is dark,
But somewhat peaceful
Will it stay this way?
No air in this prison,
Nothing to live by
Somehow I don’t care
Is that wrong?
To want peace?
If I die will no one miss me?
Or will the world go on without?
Spots closing in,
The end is almost near
I yearn for it,
Feel for it
Goodbye

© Stephen V., West Richland, WA

The author's comments:
the inspiration for this poem came from a death. the death of someone i never knew. he was a freshman. he drowned in the creek not to long ago. and so my poem was born.
