Afterlife Poem by Tyler Smith

Afterlife



What is this dark mist that
Covers me?
There is no ground to set my feet upon,
No sky to look up into,
No horizon to measure things by.
I feel split apart, ripped into
Shreds of my former self.
I hate this emptiness.
For what is the reason,
Mankind put upon Earth,
To just end up like this?
Death is disappointing.

i like the expression and mood i get from this poem. Its dark, and sad afterlife sort of sounds like life.
