"The Will"

[behind_these_eyes]

In the event of my death

Before I've said goodbye;

If the world is alive

But my life has passed by;

 

If it's wondered at all

What I've left in this place-

For the ones whom I love,

For the ones whom I hate,

 

I write you a last

but sincerest farewell,

And hope all the best that I can

All is well.

 

I'm sorry I didn't

try harder to please you

I'm sorry at times

When it seemed I don't need you.

 

I'm sorry if I

have left nothing behind

But depressing notes scrawled

With my pen on these lines.

 

As I stop to reflect

through my last living door

I'm sorry I have

So much I'm sorry for.

 

But off with my past,

I must bring you what's new;

The things that I had

That now belong to you:

 

Take every judgment

You passed upon me,

And now judge yourself

with your absent mercy.

 

Take all of the nights

That I spent all alone

Wondering why

I felt lost in my home.

 

Take my perpetual

Sense of confusion;

My inability to see

What is truth or illusion.

 

And if I am leaving

all of this behind

Then I'm sorry for you,

And I hope you will find

 

There's still some benevolance

Left 'on these shores',

That right now for some reason

I've chosen to ignore.

 

 

I don't know, it sucks. I've never really been one for rhyming poems, and it's really long, so thank you if you even read this far. Any feedback is appreciated.

the poem was awesome, the rhyming was good and yo chose just the right words to use. dont worry if your poems are long their self expression it may take more space sometimes, i have a few really long ones on here, the poem was really deep and seemed to have alot emotion and it carries a deffinate message, you are an excellent writer. especially since your so young, keep writing,you have a gift.
