Life
Burned under the sun
Sweat dripped into his eyes
He was blinded by the light
Rotted by worldly lies
His life may have lost its shine
But remember, we all want something more sublime
Now, I've certainly been close to death
With time spent well
And time in hell
Time spent high
Most time just passed right by
There's no use in asking myself why.
She was a kind soul
With a dark side of the mind
Got lost into its endless hole
And left the world behind
She tried to hide
She ran far
And she ran wide
Floated off into the stars
Deep within the bizarre
Contentment is not given;
for it is learned, you mustn't quit
Yet, it's truly hard to learn to not give a shit.
Embrace not death
Embrace the land
Embrace the rest
Find peace within your final breath

'Yet, it's truly hard to learn to not give a shit.'
That line truly sums up the very essence of this well crafted & written poem. I like the way your thoughts & perspective flow throughout. Supurb work! Sublime. :-)

Thank you for the awesome comment!
I really enjoyed crafting that line and it's former two specifically. I really know thoughts like this aren't easy and definitely did not want to come off in a way of saying, "hey, just don't!"
I appreciate your words, Snaggy!
