I Surrender

Free Form Poem

By Nena RanksPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

I want to taste the kiss of death.

I long for its embrace.

I don't know how much more

I can survive in this hell on Earth.

How can life be beautiful

If it makes me feel ugly?

How can I find life's pleasures

When all I receive is pain?

I am a slave to this pain.

Seduced by death.

How long will it take

Before I succumb

To death's temptations?

I am a knight

Cloaked in faith.

How long will it take

Before I lay down

Sword and shield?
