The Leaving

To each and every one of you
I just wanted to say thinkyou
From those who doubted me
To those who helped me,

I hope you dont turn to hate
After you finish at my wake
Please come to understand
That i was not destined to spend long on this land,

I have to make flight
Into another day or night
To a place i am yet unknown
So i can finally make my soul my own,

At the moment i feel i must fast
So as to remove my strangling mask
To starve to skin and bone
And regrow my body as my own,

It is often painful to never know
How far this life will let me go
Or when i will no longer out run
The man with the smile who is to show me whats to come,

So now we come to the end of the show
Just one thing you should all know
That no matter what you think of me
You were all a joy to me
But now i am finally free

A poem for a Dead Friend

To my friend, so pure, talented, so young
Why did you have to put the rope on and take all the air from your lung
You were a man of many laughs, smiles and cheers
Why couldnt i have gotten to know you better in your final years
Many good times and memories i have which i have only you to thank
But now i need my strength or i will join you and give my neck one final yank
But alas no matter what i think, feel or say
Please know that i will never join you and end in the same way
I must live my life in a way that you never could
But i will see you again someday in someway and we will sit and talk like we said we always would
