I am a candle Though my fire cannot last Burning bright from both ends I forsake my future And do not languish in the past. I am a man Flesh stretched across bone Bare skin exposed For all the world to see An island all my own. I am a writer My heart dripped out upon the page All my hopes, my dreams Shared for generations to come A young poet, desperate to become a sage. I am.... "Ain't Got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old. Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef" |

Wow! The last stanza really grabbed me Very well done BWA I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |
