Presently Pheasantly
Struck again but not struck off
What I'm looking for is some real time off
Most creatures search for peace
But what I want is to be left alone in peices
That impact was a pitiful graze leaving me in dissaray
But still alive am I, to my dismay
Many lives have I now lived, first human, now to this
A never ending cycle of living unless I can get one last hit
What did I do to endure such a living agony?
Preyed upon by hope of death, such fallacy!
Every morning I creep out, tip toeing to leap to my destiny
But self awareness is not a gift but a test of me
Sitting here on the side of the road contemplating my death
I wonder how it will come, quickly, excrutiatingly or prolonged?
But I really don't care at this point in time
As long as it's right and as long as it's mine

Thank you Red Brick Keshner, I feel this has a little bit of everything whilst also a sad depiction of the life of Pheasants and their suicidal ways. Enjoyed your poetry muchly too. Thanks again!
