Poem I wrote about me:

Something bit my soul
Before I was born, a test was established by the gods.
“Put a heart within her that burns with the desire of a thousand men.”
“Set her up in the 21st century and we will watch.”
So the gods watched from the heavens and pointed and giggled when I felt or was moved.
They got high with the feeling I received and my every emotion.
They continued watching me as I cried out for satisfaction and to ease my killing hunger.
They waited for my final actions.
I continued to wait for theirs.
I can not put into words the feelings I have.
Those words have never been written or spoken by men of this world.
Oh how I call on my past lives so.
They united in heaven, me on this playing field of deceit.
Earth does not hold my heart or contentment.
No matter what I say to them, the gods turn their heads away from me.
Crying into the night and into the day is not enough.
What else can I give aside from me?
The gods and heaven know they have always had me.
Locked inside my own pain.
The key is hidden so I am told.
When will I find it?
I want to hold all the animals of the world.
I want to rock all the children to dreamland.
I want to hold the hands of all humanity.
I want to feed all the hungry.
I want to cure all the sick.
I want to give freely of myself.
ALAS, God you bring me Nothing>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Undertaker

I am ready to cross over
Dip my feet into the river of the dead

The souls twirling like the top of a childs umbrella
The souls dance with blank stares

They reach for me and my pains
Understanding or pretending to understand more than the living

The torment of their chatter
Their bright light

May I dream away and come back here
Well it has never been done before

That is just not allowed
Once you cross over that water, this water will forever be another lifetime away

Sometimes that is a small price to pay
To enjoy the treats of the other side

I can wait for now
As my sand grains fall away into eternity

One more night on earth is possible
I guess
