What do you want of me?
By charlie herring

Deaths sweet song
Calls to me again
This world of hate would soon be gone
Gone the pain
Gone the fighting of friends and family
Gone the injustice
Gone the life from me

It would be better never to have lived
If I had died as just a little kid
I would never have led this life
Never have felt this pain
Never have felt this love
If I had died as a child

What courses would there lives take
Would they have gone on?
Where they meant to be great
Am I holding them back?
I know I am a nusesnse
An annoyance at best

How I wish this life would end
How I wish I could be with him
With my father and my friend
My god and my savior
They would keep me from this pain
They would not let my blood be spilt
Love everlasting
How I wish I had that
Death tastes bitter
But the fruit is sweet

Would they forgive me?
If I left
Would they care?
Should I fell regret?
I know I bother them
I know I am a burden
This life I am not long for
I want to go home
To a loving family
And the love of friends

But I am not meant to die
But am I meant to go on?
Should I watch as a spectator?
Or be a peacemaker
Among my friends

This hurts me inside the discion is not clear
My God give me guidance send down your spirit
Fill me with fire
For life
For love
For you
I need this life no more
I give it up
I turn it over
Not my will
But your will be done




 work like you don't need the money,
dance like no one's watching, and
love like you've never been hurt

You have said my words almost exactly,
So many times I have cried out in this fashion.
And so many times I have given up this life of direction.

Thanks kid.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
