Take me away, from what I've become. <br />Let me burn in a furnace as hot as the sun. <br />Let hail and rain fall from dark leaden skies. <br />Hold me down to drown and let me die. <br />Let lightening strike to leave nothing of me. <br />Let my spirit rise, and be set free. <br />No phoenix will be born from my unwanted soul, <br />for hell had pleasure taking it, a long time ago. <br />But though I was just a mortal being, <br />for me life always swung like a convict hanging. <br />One chapter is never enough to leave a mark. <br />Not when everything is seen through eyes of dark.<br /><br />JJ Evendon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-me-away-61/
