POEM STARTER

"Everything is just as it is meant to be."

Use this as the closing line of a poem in any style.

Crucifixion

Talk to me while I suffocate Look me in the eyes while I die

I am above you but only physically Realistically I’m far below 6 feet to be exact

Watch me as the pain carves out my very being Until I am no longer the person you remember

Go down this path of blood Look at all the people nailed to slabs of wood

Cruel and unusual torture For someone supposedly innocent

Watch me as the weight of the world- and by that i mean my own body. slowly slowly slowly

makes me crumple

You can watch as I’ll laugh with you one last time
You can watch as the tears rolling down my cheeks hit the ground You can watch as my lungs fail me and I can no longer breathe much less scream

and you can watch as my eyes go dim.

You can watch me when they take my body down You can watch me as it leaks all the things keeping me alive You can wonder whether it’s a crueler fate to to be the one dead, or to be the one left alive

And through all of this you can take comfort and solice in the fact that supposedly

Everything is just the way that it’s meant to be
