dying
with death so close
my mind became clear
filled with thoughts of home
empty with those of fear
to read the paper
sit in my chair
go out for a walk
breath deep the clean air
the drugs, the girls
the parties and boos
all are insignifigant
when you are about to lose
all I wanted was peace
the presence of security
a warm, handmade blanket
keeping warm my sanity
with death so close
I realized who I am
I know how to move on
now I have the plan
