Hello Death Poem by Brodie Montgomery

My life was quite a dark
And rather lonesome place
I'd curl into a ball
To try and hide away.
My life right now is decent
Like nothing it was before
But every now and then
The past is at my door.
Everyone has dark days
Mine are more so weeks
Letting in the old times
Smell the horrid reak;
Of anger and depression
The bitter and the cold
Wanting to embrace the black
And to sell my soul.
Hello death you called again
No i'm still alive
A miracle believe me
Upon the dark i thrived.
Though now a tiny crack
In my darkened home
Has lead me to believe
You aren't the way to go.
She's tiny and she's loveable
She's everything i'm not
My blood runs cold
And yet my daughter's hot.
So continue knocking
I'm afraid we're all out
My anger and depression
I begin to doubt.
Maybe when i'm older
I'll leave the door unlocked
Maybe when she's not around
I'll help you with your plot
To drag me down to darkness
For now i'm in the light
I thank my darling River-Leigh
For giving me this sight.
