Before You Lay Me Down 2 Sleep Poem by Akeem Mair

Before You Lay Me Down 2 Sleep



Before you lay me down to sleep
And I take my last breath
Before you hear the last heart beat
fainting in my chest
I'm Almost dead, But I lived my whole life
being afraid of death
And that made me live half a life
cause I was cautious with every step
So I never did my best, to live my life
completely without regrets
I was scared here and I was scared there,
i failed every tests,
Of what I was suppose to be,
I should of been bigger
Now I'm closer to death and I'm crying
cause I didn't pull the trigger
To go after my dreams now my future
and everything is almost over
Now I'm staring death in the eyes,
I'm like please give me more time
I'm not ready for my soul
to head towards the sky
But it's way too late my words ain't getting though
gotta deal with fate
And it's crazy cause when your young
you ain't worried on the date,
You're thinking you got all the time in the world,
to run and play
But it's false illusion to think with your youth
you can runaway
But you can't never go too far of a place
where it's not there
And now in I'm my bedroom dwelling on despair
for failure to prepare
But I got a message for my son who still young
and can still dream
Let me tell how life is....
Before you lay me down to sleep
