Poem- in My Time of Mourning
In my time of mourning
I hope to make it out alive
I hope to make it out alive
A hope, dissipated
I feel the time collide
The dreams
Fill an open void
As time comes crashing down
Simple, yet, undignified
Sweat drips from my brow
A simple sort of life
I never knew, I never knew
Things would add to this
A pile and I am left with the broken pieces of Earth
