This was supposed to be prose, but we were reciting Shakespeare before I wrote this so suddenly I was writing in rhythm. So, I hope you enjoy it... It's the first time I post something like this.
Dedicated to Sygaila for listening to Devote and me reciting Shakespeare...

It's one of the strangest things,
To see people staring,
Thinking you are dead,
Whilst I can hear their voices
And see their stares.

It's one of the strangest things,
To realize that to them I am dead,
and will stay dead,
Although in my mind,
I'm still here, alive.

I know that I will not remain,
And that to some I am gone,
Yet my spirit remains,
Wondering about my life long gone.
I wish I could reply.

I can hear their voices,
And I can see their stares,
But my own voice betrays me,
And my eyes seem dead.
I just can't move.

I'm fading, slowly,
Yet to most I am long gone.
And not before long,
I will be gone.
Who will remember me?
