staring at the wall
my heart beating faster
my body falling
*thud*
to the floor
I am gone
I am dead...
remember the days
life was easy
and I was not alone
being alone isn't
the issue here...
it's the drugs
it's my life
and the hardships
the happy moments too
no matter how limited

still crying on the floor
still dead
but not so
and so much to learn

arising from my body-
weightless
but not only weightless-
empty

now tell me my friend
there has to be a reason
this road was less traveled...
yet, I took it
trying to be brave and unique
now here I stand
above my lifeless body
alone
didn't live a life
but a moment
a moment not long enough
and when I died-
heard my wings break
felt my heart die
and I touched the bittersweet
rain
that tainted my soul
the salt that sweetened my brain

innocence I spoke of
never lost
never even existent...

so here I stand
above my lifeless body
a broken soul
wandering-
crawling-
the road less traveled
the road less traveled for a reason



*Being an angel doesn't mean having a halo or wings, it means doing the right thing and wanting to make a difference*

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

nah i dont like the dude.

but yeah the poem was great. and i think that "road less traveled" thing should be the basis of a poem. i mean its a great story, like how you do your own road.
somebody should come up with it.  


(i know that robert frost wrote one about it already people dont bite my head off)
