hey all, this poem is semi-interesting in that it didn't come from me.  i asked my friend mr matt what his worst fear was, and he said being burried alive, so that intrigued me. anyway, this is my perspective on how it would feel. thanks for reading it.

panicked fingers
claw at the wood
scratching...
trying to escape
in my coffin cell
death i frantically await
earth as my prison
the soil, my heavy warden
guarding against my escape
no one can hear
the terrified screams
which are muffled by the sated dirt
too ignorant to pray
to frightened to die
someone help me
i scream
as the blackness envelopes my mind

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

Oh how very scary ..... Very gripping!
I always thought burning to death was my worst fear.
I don't know what's worse?

You've done an excellent job in expressing your friends fears!

hi irie =)
eeep yeah both burning and burrying sound horrible *Shudders* i remember watching this weird movie when i was younger about being burried alive, i had a bunch of dreams about it and was completely traumatized for awhile lol.  maybe that is where this poem came from too...anyway. thank you for replying, i appreciate it lots =)
