Wooden Sounds of Rememberance

Do you know the sounds of a person
banging on a coffin to escape?

I do.
I want to be dead.
Being trapped alive
is worse than complete despair.
There shall be no foreshadow.

    O! I do dear sir, I do….you wish to breathe but can’t. You want to get up and run but can’t. You are confined in this single place and it is stifling you…all you can hear is your heart beating the seconds ’till your dying breath…o dear sir, how surely I do.

    Man.
    you make me worry.
    your expressions of “this” are obviously sincere
    I hate that Im saying this. I know writing it isnt doing it.
    this is a haunt, beauty that will linger sadly…

      You get tired of fighting and then you can write about it and stay seated in your couch and wait for tomorrow.

    I’ve never felt like this, but the imagery you create and the voice that comes through loud and clear via this amazing poem is breathtaking.
