Live Free or Die
A wise man can always be found alone.

A place where I'll post poems I write here and there. Feel free to post your poems as well. I'll start with this one I wrote tonight.
Darkened waters and gray skies
Dried up tears and silent cries
Mother knew, but not quiet why
Why it was, I had to die
Another sunday, another grave
Someone else they couldn't save
They'll talk about being brave
What they took, what they gave
Dressed in black they'll attend
Not one of them was a friend
For just today they'll pretend
What they don't comprehend
They're the reason that I left
A sad and lonely death
After all, I was just a guest
I always was such a mess
I had to find my real home
It wasn't here, this was known
I wouldn't have felt so alone
With no one to call my own
Close my eyes, a reverie
Melding into my memory
Leaving behind humanity
And all of their treachery
Darkened waters and gray skies
Dried up tears and silent cries
Mother knew, but not quiet why
Why it was, I had to die
Darkened waters and gray skies
Dried up tears and silent cries
Mother knew, but not quiet why
Why it was, I had to die
Another sunday, another grave
Someone else they couldn't save
They'll talk about being brave
What they took, what they gave
Dressed in black they'll attend
Not one of them was a friend
For just today they'll pretend
What they don't comprehend
They're the reason that I left
A sad and lonely death
After all, I was just a guest
I always was such a mess
I had to find my real home
It wasn't here, this was known
I wouldn't have felt so alone
With no one to call my own
Close my eyes, a reverie
Melding into my memory
Leaving behind humanity
And all of their treachery
Darkened waters and gray skies
Dried up tears and silent cries
Mother knew, but not quiet why
Why it was, I had to die
