End Of Everything Poem by Paul Burt

Tried to keep my head above the water
Yet the water keeps on rising till it reaches the top
Tried to hold on for as long as I could
But my grip is failing

I feel my will to live slipping away
It's raining in my head once more

Everything I have will soon be gone
Everything I loved will soon be gone
My home will soon be gone
Soon I will be gone

It's the end of everything
Take one last breath and release

Don't want to feel this way no more
Don't want to live this way no more

I was once full of life and passion
Now I am a broken battered shell of my former self

I've felt too much pain to be happy
I've Said too little for any to hear
And I've done too little too late

Whatever dreams I had will never come true now
Whatever plans I had Won't ever happen now
Whatever hope and faith I had is gone

I had to let them all go just like everything I owned
I am lost to the world and within myself
I am a prisoner trapped in my own body with a soul I no longer want
Life being the b***h that she is trumped me with a card trick I can never recover from

Who I am to the world at large when I'm gone just another statistic?
Another name to erase when no longer on this earth?

This heart is broken someone please cut it out of me cause I don't want it no more!
All the things I've done in the end was not worth the f*****g time as it all has lead to nothing!

But it will soon be all over
soon it will be the end of everything
and as I close my eyes one final time I whisper to myself these simple words
No More.
