I Am Below
By Ramona Thompson

I am below
6 feet under
I wait
Wait to live my life again
This soul
So lonely
That not a moment more can I bear
The stench of a dead man's deathly silence

I am below
So very eager
Hungry for another voice
To fill my lonely days and nights
Spent too often with the worms that crawl
In and out of my rotting flesh

I am below
Just another of the buried
Forgotten
With no vistors
No company
Lonesome and alone
Afraid that maybe just maybe
I shall spend the rest of forever this way
As I wait for my eternity to end

I am below
