The Words Of Despair Poem by Reginald Francois

My life has fallen in a place which is dark
My hearts flashlight has fallen apart
All I see is a future that is not nice
I feel lifeless like a rat trap that caught 2 mice
That went for cheese
Not knowing it was their last taste of heaven, gone, like a sneeze

I walk my dark alleys in the sunshine
I only see darkness though I seem fine
I smile, I laugh, I sing, I play
To cover the travesty that is my day
While you cling to hope, hope clings to me
Praying I take it on for better days to see

Though I try not to give up on life
Each morning I wake is like a stab of a dull knife
Piercing my lungs, for my heart is too quick
Suffering prolong, for my death to stick
Agonizing pain telling me my life to take
I being stubborn believe to live, is a better mistake

I keep asking Why as I wake each morning
Instantly knowing the answer to start my beginning
Why are you alive this morning?
Because yesterday you refuse to take your life as the day ending
