Sometimes I ask death
to just shut my eyes
not just for a little while
i'd love to be gone
no longer would i have to worry
about where i'm supposed to be
or what i'm supposed to be doing
sometimes i ask death
to take this last breath of life of mine
so i no longer have to witness anymore struggles
no more tragedies
but then i ask life
to give me understanding
and the wisdom and patience
to make it through each long day.

i don't really like this poem. i might revise it later. i'm too busy right now. gotta lay seth down for his nap.
