PERSONAL POETRY

They don't know

Shrouds crawl beneath my skin

I am dying from within

Life seep out and sleep takes hold

Nobody knows my story, untold

Dark shrouds they cover me

How is it that they don't see

Yes I stll walk, talk and breathe

They don't know, I'm dead beneath

They don't know I cannot stay

My coffin, my grave, they wait

It doesn't matter if it's in my head

I am all filled up with weary and dread

Close my eyes and cover my face

Close my casket, cover my grave

Plant me flowers and engrave my names

Only a few moments you may take

Maybe you can sing me a song?

Something gentle and strong

Then you can say goodbye, shed your tears,

I am broken, I need rest and peace

They don't know, they don't know

Won't you be quiet as you go?

Inside, I am nothing but dark and hollow

They don't know, they don't know
