Lay Me Down To Death Poem by jessi trousdale

Now I lay me down to death
I pray to the Lord as I take my last breath
I will die before I awake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

All this pain
and nothing to gain
All this hurt
when i was just kick around like dirt

No one will care
they'll just sit and stare
No one will shead a tear
because i'll no longer be near

They will move on with life
as I take my own with this knife
The blood runs down
and I dont make a sound

The world gets blurry
and as it begins to get swirly
I take my last breath in time
Remembering how I lost everything at the dropp of a dime
