Over Poem by Adam Day

Hopping left hopping right
If I stop I have to fight
This beast of a figure
Is drawing near
Over logs and under trees
Running faster now I tripped
And fell on my knees
As the blood flows down my leg
I look to the heavens and I beg
Please not now I want to live
Father time has come to give
An option for life at the cost of another
Shall it be my wife or my brother
Trying hard I can’t decide
On my feet I run to hide
I can feel the life draining from me
With every step my time is near
Nibbling all over to get away
I see a cave where I can stay
Dark as ever inside of here
Praying now for the beast to steer clear
Against a wall I will sit
Hiding in the dark I get hit
My neck is throbbing with massive pain
I feel on the ground to find a cane
Defending myself blindly swinging in the wind
Is today the end
Kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs
Feeling like I was hung
Squeezing my throat I cannot breath
Looking down there is nothing beneath
Total blackness everywhere
No bottom or top anywhere
Is this the end it’s finally here
In the blink of an eye it was here and disappeared
My life in a flash has now gone, as I feared
To my friends and loved ones I leave
All of my many great memories
