My Poem

This poem is one I wrote at school, about being a ghost, and not able to move on.
 

 

 

I am

The only one

Who can claim

To be

As old as earth herself

Time passes

Like sand in an hour glass

But I am not old enough

Not yet

I age but don't pass

To the void beyond

I am afraid

Afraid

Of the future

I am tied down

by my own fear

Fear

that ugly monster

That resides

In my heart

I drift on

And on

Lost

In my own home

I fly

But am chained to

to the world

There is no escape

I chose the wrong path.
