My pulse slows
as I take in
every rattling breath.
And I ask myself Why?
Why did all this happen to me?
My eyelids droop
my arms go limp
and I ask myself why?
why did i let this happen?
I take my last breath
as i think of all that I could have done
if I hadn't been so stupid
and let myself die?
My soul floats up to heaven
sirens blare around
as the paramedics pronounce me dead
the pain goes away
and I ask myself why?
Why did I be so stupid
and let myself die.
i've let down my friends and family
as they mourn my death
people say their last goodbyes
to my body as it is lowered
beneath the ground
as i watch them from above
knowing why.
why i risked my life
to save my most beloved.
as i look down on them
my wings flapping in the wind
a smile comes upon my face
because i finally know why.

Life gave me lemons.....but why do I care????

Not bad... it could use a little more sensory stuff, but it's a good start.

This was a good one for your first post! The ending left me wondering "why." You chose a good title for this...because it left me thinking that. ~Jess
