The Patient
Okay I will first take this time to fully explain my poem, just so you know. :]
It is called The Patient and is influenced by "The Patient" in the video for "Welcome to The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.
Okay so..Gerard Way saayys :
"The very basic premises of the record which is when you die, I like to think that death comes for you however you want and I feel that its your strongest memory, either from child hood or adult hood and for this particular character in this record called The Paitent, his strongest memory of being a child is his father taking him to this parade so when death comes for him it comes in the form of the black parade."
Okay, there you go. Read on!
The Patient
I look back at my life,
With sorrow and regret.
I should have lived it to the fullest
With all the people I have met.
What happened to this man?
Why is he so sad?
I never asked for anything,
I gave life all I had.
Yet, I sit here on this gurney,
Cold and alone.
I am waiting for the end,
And it hurts me to the bone.
But in all of my agony,
And beneath all my shame,
Hides a bitter beauty
Leaving no room for me to blame.
They told me not long ago
That the cancer was spreading.
I had three months to wait
For the day I was dreading.
The mechanics of life
Were a mystery to me,
But now I understand it fully
How can this still be?
Though, I am slowly accepting my fate
And all of its means,
The hardest part
Was letting go of my dreams.
So don’t fear for me, babe,
My chances are grim.
It will soon be my time,
To accompany Him.
Your heartwrenching despair
Is most agonizing to me.
Your beautiful smile,
Is what I trully wish to see.
So pack all my things
And make me ready for this,
I am fading so quickly,
Just give me one last kiss.
I already sang all my prayers,
And said all my goodbyes.
Inside this man
Hides a courage that tells no lies.
All of this self pity,
Is drowning me now.
The days go by slowly
And I take my final bow.
My friends and my family,
Don’t grieve for me so.
Just search for the memories
When I finally go.
Hold on to me tightly now,
For my time has run.
I start to look back now
At the things that I’ve done.
My fondest recollection
Is from a day so long ago,
When my father took me to a parade,
It was surely my favourite show.
So I see death in my own way,
I’ll go into the darkness and jade,
As I leave you to join
The Black Parade.

This is my favourite poem I have written, so far. I am never really good at rhyming and I am very proud of what I had written. :]
