Ashes To Ashes Poem by Tiff Murphy

There once was a time,
When I thought things would get better,
But they seem to only get worst,
My whole life I hoped and prayed,
To escape and get away,
I'm so sick of talking,
Sick of the fear,
That's always inside,
They say never to give up,
Never give in,
But I'm starting to think that I'll let the demons inside win,
They'll conquer my soul,
Or maybe they alrady have,
I think I'm giving up hope,
Wishing upon a million stars,
For things that will never come true,
Ashes to ashes dust to dust,
Lay down my head,
And put my soul to rest,
Won't see another day,
The lights start to fade,
As my life slips away,
All time is gone,
So I shut my eyes,
And kiss my life goodbye.
