Dug My Fate Poem by Kelvin Owusu

I've been looking in the past for so long
that I can't even recognize the present
don't even have an understanding of what the future may hold
I'm a lost man with no hints of being found
maybe if I cry, maybe if I scream loud enough
maybe I'll be heard, maybe
or maybe, just maybe it's already too late
already had my grave dug for me
six feet, damn that's deep
for a man who's only asleep but thought to be dead
hopefully in a safety coffin
to signal, once I awake from this slumber
maybe, just maybe someone can dig me out.
