Keep my spirit alive

_m_ostwanted

I don't even know when my last day will be

But why do I feel like it's getting closer

I've lived a comical life

And all my days as a loner

I found love at a later time

A time when my numbness has caused me a lot

A time when I couldn't believe it to be real

At my lowest when I had nothing to offer

My life will be a memory lots will cherish

And my picture will bring tears to their eyes

I don't know if the grim reaper is messing with me

Because I don't see myself dying anytime soon

I just don't know why I feel so close to my death

My life is nothing but an unfinished project

For there are lots I haven't done

And beautiful sights I haven't seen

Like seeing my parents smiling at my kids

With the one I love living a life of hers - wild and free

My brothers, grand and luxurious

And my friends, large and lovely

I pray you keep my spirit alive dear God

And let the grim reaper neglect me

  • Comment from author about the poem: I was actually feeling a little pale cause there's no work around here and I don't know how to monetize my poems yet, I started coughing involuntarily and noticed few drops of blood. That gave birth to this poem. I hope you enjoy reading tho. I'll be dropping my poetry YouTube channel soon. Do well to subscribe and like the videos, I'm new to it all. Thank you all ❤️

        Wow, this was pensive and profound.
        It's been a while since I've read one of your poems dear poet.
        I'll never forget that you were the one poet who wrote a poem in my dedication nearly a year ago!!
        Omg time flies.
        I'm so sad to hear you feel this way.
        I'm literally 17 and I also feel like I inch closer and closer to death each passing day.
        It's just the cycle of life, and we're just an integral part of it.
        I hope you recover, you are loved.
