Look Death in The Eye


Look death in the eye 

And what do you see 

Look back to the ground 

And ask is that me?

Look death in the eye 

And what do you feel?

Peer up at the sky and realize this is real

Look death in the eye

All that's left is to cry

The end has come

I really got into poetry in my freshman year of high school when I was going through a tough time. Since then I still do poetry from time to time and feel its a good outlet. I love doing poetry because not only can I get my emotions across on paper, but I can look back at something I created and am proud of. Most of my stuff does also turn out to be a little on the dark side, but nothing too bad. I feel we all have some sort of dark side to us and just hope that others can relate.
