End of Days

The world seems that it’s closing in,
Frightening, lightening, flashbacks of places I’ve been.
I fight, wiggle, scream, to free their grasps,
“ Judgement Day!” in a boney voice that rasps.
I see a face before me, empty, lifeless, dead!
Suddenly and flaming, eyes burning red.
He’s come to judge, decide my fate to be,
In dreams, no, nightmares he has haunted me.
His cold stone grip’s upon me like snakes around my neck,
Here to steal souls and my life to wreck.
I scream a shattered scream of a soul that’s lost,
In my life it seems to be the lines that I have crossed.
It’s those lines condemning me for eternal time,
I should have thought before I lived a life of crime.
I thought I could be strong and hold myself together,
But so did those before and they too burn forever.
I had the chance to change, blindly I turned my head,
The cost is so much worse, worse than being dead.
I wish I would have listened to all that I was told,
I wish I would have changed before I grew so old.
I lay upon my deathbed cursed by my old ways,
For my Judgement I now wait, for the End of Days.

* this poem has nothing to do with the movie..i wrote this poem long before the movie came out...


" If who i am is what i have and what i have is lost, then who am I? " - unknown

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
