"The Vent"   1 - 24 - 03



These thoughts haunt my waking mind

They taunt my heart with no respect to time



These feelings flow out of my heart

These thoughts express a need to depart



My body expresses what lips will not say

My actions do show my intentions for this day



My mind flows backward through all the pains

In due time I no longer hold the remains



Out of my hands, no more control

Slowly losing grip of the heart and the soul



I step up to observe the chosen path

My body has chosen to utilize the wrath



Must meet the end with no hesitation

End the world with utter devastation



As these thoughts flow and the pictures move on

I drift off to sleep... What the soul harbored is gone.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

what you are reading is not the death of a person, but of the venting of the soul. the said person is venting what could have killed him instead of letting it. just wished to clear up any confusion on that note - this poem is actually about Hope
