My life already gone
From playing with dispair
Living no longer an option
Damaged beyond repair

The coldness of winter
And fire glowing low
Never have I felt so little warmth
From a world I no longer know

Struggling as I am
Trying to survive
Why am I still here?
Why am I alive?

My head just above water
Gasping deperately for air
I never thought it would be like this
My life it isn't fair

This season of emmotions
Like winds, they rise and fall
Death creeping slowly towards me
Steadily and at a crawl

Speaking only with my eyes
A glaze of hazel mess
A lonely life in which I lead
My sins I can't confess

A shining moon above the trees
The glowing angels dance
Watching all the shooting stars
Giving life one more chance

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

~Thank you moon and thank you trees. And thank you Trevorskogsbergh for sharing this hard (heart) hitting poem. *Peace.

life is a struggle but half the fun is getting to where you want to be...nice poem and I can relate well to it. The title caught me and the rest held me.
