Waiting For Death
September 21, 2017
Done.
Done with
this world
and all
it has become.
Waiting
for Death
with its
beating
Drum
To come,
Come,
Come,
Come!
Waiting for
Death
with its thin
Silver-white
Violins
whirring
wildly,
wailing
the song
that has
been played
for endless
eternity...
Just waiting
for Death,
with its
beating
Drum
and wild
Violins
to come,
Come,
Come!

Disclaimer: In all honesty, this poem is not a "cry for help", nor are any other poems with Death in the title. These poems are entirely fictional and are not how I feel in any way, shape, or form.
I was pretty upset with the world when I decided to write this poem. I was very moved by one of the poems written by Langston Hughes as well, and I decided to incorporate the drums and violins of Death that he mentioned in his poem entitled Fantasy in Purple. Then the idea was born!!
