Beth's blog: "Poems"

I have fallen and there is no getting up

I will go back from whence I came

Never to be seen or heard from again

The light that once was

Has finally burnt out

There is no hope

I have lived long enough

To see that this world holds nothing for me

Death and destruction are always around

Nothing left to keep me around

Lies and deceit are the games that are played

For someone like me

There is no reason to stay

I am depleted of hope, love, and strength

Soldiering on is no longer there

I have been fighting for something that just isn’t there

Life has me beat

With all the lies and deceit

There is no room for the person that I am

The last shred of hope I give to those who still fight

In the end we all have to die
