    "Walk, don't run, through the graveyard"

    ~~~My Graveyard~~~
    "Out of sight out of mind; if it's been buried long enough it's easy to forget where you buried it"

    Excavating this cemetary of broken dreams,
    Pulling apart corpses at the seams;
    Can't find my way through this maze,
    Stumbling, lost, through this thickening haze.
    Headstones here have been weathered away,
    I can't read what any of them say;
    Digging blind, cross my fingers, wish me luck -
    Unearthing lost treasures my shovel struck.
    Reaching into this six foot hole,
    Trying to remember where I buried my soul;
    Be wary of the skeletons buried six feet under ground,
    Not all of them are eternally slumber bound.

    Fatally Yours,
    Dead End Poet

    A word from the Dead End Poet herself: I didn't write this for you. I didn't write this for praise. I think that's my problem lately. I've gotten used to comments, I've gotten used to praise, and now a part of me expects it. I didn't used to write for anyone but me, and it was enough. But when I started writing for criticism I lost the essence of what made writing fun for me. So I'm writing this for me, for own smucking soul, and no one elses.
