Lost in a sea not so tranquil
I am forever surrounded
Faces of the dammed floating in hell
And, I'm just one of them, eternally confounded
***
Searching for something to kill a forever pain
I struggle not to suffer and not to wallow
Yet the truth of it all drives me insane
choking me up until I can't swallow
***
I try to push through and live out my days
Hoping to find meaning in it all
In a world so wonderous nobody ever stays
Just standing around until it's my turn to fall
***
Welcome it, I would
The sweet and unjudged release
There are other ways, if only I could
I would welcome the escape and the peace
***
It's not my destiny, it's not my way
I wait patiently for your face
It'll come in due time because I have no say
You'll grant the release at your own pace
***
More will rise and more will fall
While you dillydally around
Perhaps one day I'll get the call
That it's I that you have finally found
***
Until then I wonder if you're just not ready for me
And I hope that soon you'll come thru
This world is becoming less pleasant to see
And for many of us, we are looking forward to meeting you.

I don't know where you get your inspiration from but in this particular piece, I was inspired by the character of death from Supernatural. That relationship between him and Dean Winchester was always fun.

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
