Died In Black

Was going to make this one another piece soaked in angry expression 
But I am drained of constantly having my rage flung out upon the page
So instead I will state calmly and clearly
that even though I am weary
I will proclaim that I will not die in black

This life will not be lived in vain
The veil of shame
The heavy noose of pain 
will not be the one to claim
my life

I will not die in black

When the end comes for me
I hope it is gentle
I pray that it is fast
I want it to be bright, all embracing with a peace here to last...
I want my words to linger
Carried from my mind into creation by the strength of these broken brown fingers 

Please remember me by the light I tried to leave on in the world because I saw what this realm truly lacked

I do not want to die in black
