If you should leave me
I shall not die
Nor make grief a trumpet
To shatter the sky
I shall not ask
For anything more
Than to walk according
To natural lore
One foot behind
The other before
I shall use my brain
To earn my bread
Snarl when hungry
Smile well fed
If you should leave me
I shall not die
I shall be dead

Yes, I know this is rather dark and depressing - but honestly, I just like the poem.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't read anything into it except for that.
I first came across this poem when I was 12 or so, and liked it enough to actually memorize it.
