095. A Life's Game

Published on 9 January 2016 at 07:57

I do not write to impress.

I write towards my own distress.

Not of my own free will,

as I am chained to this windowsill.

I am no longer able to rest.

These long and dark nights,

stricken by trembling thoughts,

and the absence of all light.

None to witness my somber decay, 

as I rot, and fade away,

into an empty space.

My blood has become that of caffeine,

as I remain awake, even though I am dead.

And I’ve placed my sanity at stake,

even though insanity is in its stead.

Mad, mad I’ve gone, I tell you.

Though the bloodied tears

have eroded away my already 

receding years.

I fear for the worst, 

yet I hope for the best.

I dream of changing the world,

and winning the heart of

the lonely girl upon a windowsill,

looking out towards the sky,

valuing the rest of her life.

And I imagine myself there,

beside her, somewhere. 

Though, that may never happen,

as I am cursed with illness,

and as I am dying, having gone insane.

Though, all the best people are,

since we are all the same,

living on this magnificent planet,

playing life’s game.
