My Farewell Poem by Joshua Hillard

it's funny how things can go,
I mean... it really is,
Life is meant to be full of prosperity,
But I'm missing it all, so I am left to wish,

Happiness is a joke,
It hits me every single day,
I do one thing to make another,
Yet something is always caught in the way,

It's sad when life becomes a misery,
It just makes you want to leave,
The world is Satan as it takes your life,
Only I'm the one accused of being a thief,

I hate this more than anything,
I can never do anything right,
Day by day I am blackened by the sun,
To remain hidden by the life-bearing light,

Dreams were once as thick as the sky,
In depths as deep as our oceans,
Seems alcohol is my only pain-relieving fluid,
It's one of many in my book of potions,

Just a tragedy I cannot take any longer,
It took my life so suddenly,
Life was meant to be a dream come true,
But now it's all lies to me,

I sit here just to beg,
To be awoken from my nightmare,
So this is my farewell,
It is now my soul, the one who remains out there.
