Eyes Of Pity Poem by krissi b'williams

(part 2 of deaths breath)

everyones eyes,
spoke to me with such pity, as they're mouth spoke lies
and through they're smiles
they repeated over and over again
to repent my sins
and then...i would get better in just alittle while
but as i felt the darkness of death
loom, , filling up the stale air
of my room
i knew my demise,
would be coming soon
i was inhaling it, with every breath
as i ly there in limbo, just laying there
silently crying, praying desperate prayers
with a resistance i refused to die...

not knowing when, now or then
my desperate breath's
would cease, as death
bestowed onto me
which hour would it be? ? ?
that would signal my end...what hour would the grim reaper descend
which breath, would ultimately lead to my death
soon, a calmness came from within
a strength and a peace combined
and i realized then...
through my repented sins, and prayers repeated over n over again

that the life or death decision, could be
no it would be
mine...it was not my time
there was not going to be no last breath
that would surmise my death
the decision was left up to me..for it was my destiny
