Desolation Desert Poem by wayne bright

FORCED INTO DESOLATION
LIFE IS NOW A FIGHT
BURNING IN THE DAYTIME
FREEZING IN THE NIGHT
NO REASON FOR THE ACTIONS
THAT HAVE PUT ME HERE
YOU CANT IMAGINE WHAT ITS LIKE
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THIS FEAR
ENDLESS MILES OF NOTHING
NEVER A CLOUD IN THE SKY
TOO MUCH PAIN IN LIVING
I WISH THAT I COULD DIE
BUT MY LIFE-BLOOD WONT RELEASE ME
REFUSING TO LET ME GO
DRIVING ME ON AND ON
TO WHERE I DO NOT KNOW
AND SO WITHOUT DETERMINATION
INTO ANOTHER DEATH VALLEY NIGHT
WITH NO WILL TO PRESERVE MY LIFE
AND NO WAY TO SUBDUE MY FRIGHT
SO AS SANITY STARTS TO LEAVE ME
AND I DREAM I MIGHT SURVIVE
I HEAR A LAUGH FROM THE REAPER
AND REALIZE IVE ALREADY DIED
