I Knew Better. by Dean Kuch
Short Poem - Ghosts writing prompt entry

~I Knew Better~
 

~~~~~~~~~~†~~~~~~~~~~

 

I knew better, why must I go?

Still haunted by this pain and woe;

 thus, carried gaunt through graveyard gates,

 purgatory, my soul awaits...

 

Yes, I was bold and stupid brave,

peer pressure pushed me to the grave;

I knew that I could never win —

now I'll be buried with my sin...



~~~~~~~~~~†~~~~~~~~~~
