Relentless Days
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     Every day,
     I'm stuck wondering why,
     Would it even matter
     If I died?
     Tragedy,
     Memories I try to replace
     Or at least try to erase
     Can't escape,
     Wipin' tears,
     From my face,
     Ever knowing,
     A new journey,
     Has to begin,
     Renouncing,
     All my sins
     For a new chance
     It's time for a change,
     It's time for a switch.
     Gotta bounce,
     Have to leave
     All this behind
     Have to try
     If I don't
     I won't have a chance to survive
     Or start anew.
     Sad but true,
     It's now come to this.
     Can't resist.
     Makin' a list,
     Packin' my shit
     And sayin'
     Bye
     To this world
