I Killed Me Poem by Richard Wlodarski

I Killed Me

Rating: 4.3


And I only
Wanted to be
Just who was me
And I killed me

And then I only
Saw my destiny
And now I'm only
Just killing lost time

And if now only
Time was less cruel
I'd die for far less
'cause I'm so careless

Through your poems it seem as though Kerouac saw what he wanted out of life but could not find the path to get there. A tragic story.

I killed me And then I only Saw my destiny.....and now it' futile to regret my killing, I can't be the one who I was before my killing.

Akhtar, it seems to me that Kerouac spent a lifetime of killing himself. And his premature death was the final act. (In this lifetime) .
