This restlessness is me
I never could fall asleep
Just stare at random things

Don't you wish I could dream?

It'll all decay one day
But not before you do
Rotting corpses in your graves
While all you've worked for comes unglued

But I sit to the side
Blank, staring into space

Perhaps one day I'll die
And you can reshape my face

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

i can't grasp the concept of the
reshaping the face part. -?- but the
rest of the poem, as a whole, and without
the the last line is marvelous. it
really strikes--the diction. but falls
apart, for me anyway, come the last line.

i dunno. it's late, and my brain isn't
functioning as well as it should. :smirk:

The last line alludes to how we tend to recreate people after they're gone, to be what we wanted. It only makes it easier if the subject in question was blank to begin with.

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

Reshaping them to remember them preferably for the good they've done... 'Tis an interesting introspection...
