A short, to the point poem about living my life that way I feel most comfortable.

-Live Through This-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Death by words
Suicide in due time
Nothingness so sublime
Entrails unbound
An impossible weight
Struggled to be lifted up
Easily dropped backed down
Crushing has become everything
The pain is greater than before
More than ever thought possible
But I keep moving
Climbing from one moment to the next
Dragging myself while screaming heck
Few dare listen
Even less hear what I’m saying
Upon deaf ears I plead for mercy
I of course know that they’ll be none
Live through this
A passing astuteness expressed by some
A revolutionary concepts sought by none
Not one of them could care less
I am just a pebble in the deepest pond
To every depth I am prepared to go
But into the darkness they won’t follow
Closer to the surface they remain
The brightest sun never reaches me
The warmth of forever is not mine
It belongs as it should to them
Live through is this
What I must say
What I feel the need to always express
Nothing more could be said
Those few down here with me understand
Those like me living life like as we must
Truly understand what I’m saying…
