I Write Poetry

3 Minutes To Live

By: grayday104
Written on February 8th, 2013
My future looks grim
My life's on the line
My last few seconds spent  in tattered rhyme

Tic Toc 3 minutes to live
Time to spend before I give
Tic toc one last call
Giving you time before I fall
Tic Toc make it fast
Remember these words will be the last
Tic Tic at Death's door
Could've been saved if said before
Tic toc about to out
I hope you know
You've forced this route

The scared man's edge
whole world's ledge
At the brink
Last thoughts to think
Slap to the grind
Man isn't kind
A bearing list of empty why's
From this pain a ranter flies

Screaming down from the top
With his pain that never stopped
Just the man they forgot
Now watch out world here I drop


Like King Kong's climb
The end of the line
Sole thing I'll have as mine

Now take a breath and a hard sigh
Spare a moment just to cry
Take off time do and die
Who was I and why why why

      More people like reading things that lure someone in and has some intensity to it. Lol. If it pulses the heartbeat, it'll gain more attention.

      True. But still, they'll always be there. Whenever I get older, other people will be able to see them as well.
