Dead Then Alive Poem by Lisa John

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I've died and come back
Only to fail and crash into dust

My past life a sham
I thought this time round it would be better
I guess I was wrong
Staying dead would have been better

I'll stop hoping for better
And start believing in the worst
Stranded, forgotten abandoned
This life, it's a curse

I'm not new person
Those scars I thought would have disappeared stayed
And away from normality
I have once again strayed

I'm damned forever
No second chance could ever make up
For the times I felt down
And had to give up
