Death Foretold

By shedevilrkg

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Look into the steel knife    And tell me what you see...    An escape from this reality?    Perhaps what you wish to be?    Do you see your freedom?    Or perhaps your death?    Do you see your future?    Your final, peaceful rest?    Do you see the beginning?    Or perhaps the very end?    Do you see your parents' grief?    The sorrow of a friend?    Does anyone miss you when you're gone?    Does anyone even care?    Do they even notice?    When you've left, or are not there?  Look into the steel knife    And tell me what you see...    Are you proud of what you've witnessed?    Is this what you wish to be?
