Advantages: It rhymes

Disadvantages: The person that it's about is no longer around

This is just a poem that I have written, it was going to be entered into a poetry competition in college but apparently there wasn't one, that's why I did it on Last Rites, although I never knew what it was about, so it is mainly a poem about Jorrrr or how I felt at some point over the past few months, all the rest of the content is just so it has something to do with last rites, hope you enjoy.

Last Rites

Since the time of birth I've grown
Through this able body I have shown
How to smile when you're feeling down
To live you're life without a frown

A life full of joy is hard to find
A loss of happiness deep in mind
The smile has stayed though it's not within
All of this hardship, a blow to my chin

I lie here in madness, filled with rage
Death has me captured, locked in its cage
My mind has wandered, gone to its cell
Soon I'll be gone, trapped in a shell

Time begins to take my final breath
As I lie alone on my bed of death
Will it be heaven, will it be hell
At my last rites I begin to tell

As I lie here in sorrow, a life of regret
A life of guilt, to him I'm in debt
It is him we have lost, him we called Jorrrr
A life cut short, left wanting more

Now I'm feeling like I'm going insane
The power of guilt causing me mental strain
Sleepless nights with doubt in mind
Peaceful thoughts become hard to find

Repressing memories to the back of my head
I still can't believe he's actually dead
These thoughts in my mind, will be my killer
My life seems like a fictional thriller

The cancer has spread through this difficult test
Soon I'll be gone, laid down to rest
My body has weakened, thrown into fits
Death awaits me as I fall into bits

I know of death, I know its need
Through my best friend I've seen it bleed
This my last rite, the last thing I say
To be with that friend for just one more day

Thanks for reading!

This has been changed from the one I posted on Ciao.
