This is a poem, that I wrote…and I like it. And it can be considered from like…one of Roger's songs. So, yay.
DISCLAIMER: Don't own RENT
------------ -----------
Ten
Carelessly experimenting with threat
Unaware of the ending effect
Not knowing my debt
But too late to correct
My past mistake
Nine
When it finally caught up with me
I'm scared now
My future has been decided for me
But I still don't understand the tao
Of my life
Eight
Silence all around me
But people come quickly
And I wonder if they even know my debris
I've left behind for others to clean
Seven
The machine whirring violently
And the world rushing by me too quickly
And I wonder
Do they even know me?
And if they did…
Would they care for me?
Six
They gather around me
When they befriend me
All eyes on me
But I wonder,
Do they even know me?
Five
I can't take this much longer
The blank walls are my new friends
And we talk about what it will be like in the end
Will I die?
Will they cry or remain dry?
Will I even leave them behind?
Or just always be on their mind?
Four
My breath is getting shorter
As I slowly lose my many supporters
My skin pale
And my body feeling more of hell everyday
And I know I fail
To be there for them
Three
Time goes by slow
As my body gets more and more tired
No!
This isn't desired
I don't wanna leave them behind
And become part of the wind
Two
It's coming too quickly
I just ask for one more time
One more moment in her arms
And one more time, not knowing harms
Just please, give me some more time
I'm not ready to die…
One
Please, just some more time
That's all I ask of you
Please, one more chance to start over again
Just one more life to go through
Please, all I ask of you
Is for one more chance
To change my life
…Zero…
