This constant feeling I have.

Sorrowfully it fills me

I see, I hear, I feel, I know.

Those around me can't, their eyes are closed

I see what is before me, the truth

I hear what is around me, the lies

I feel what is happening, the change

I know what is coming, Death

I am not what people see of me

I am what I was sent to be

I am the warning sent by him

I am the warning sent by Death

Many sent before me, all failed

Life's grasp was too much to handle

Will I be taken from my path as well?

Will I fail like all others before me?

I feel as if I am the rope of a tug-a-war

With Life and Death pulling at each end

Will I be pulled towards one?

Or will this rope finally snap?

About the Creator

Sara Cripps

I became a storyteller at a young age, telling stories to my younger cousins. I fell in love with the written word as soon as I could read, and never put down a good book. Stories are one on my passions. It is a passion I hape to chare.
