-Closer I- by Keaton Foster Upon This ledge Wondering What if Here So very clear Always have I been This is home A humble abode No walls No celling No adornments Just nothing In every direction At every intersection Comfortable Obliteration Is always there Waiting One step away A leap of fate Of a skyscraper Of immense pain All of this Was built by me And me alone Those behind Will wonder At least For a time Those below Will be forced To embrace The horror Of a man like me Heavy indeed Hitting the ground From a height Damn near Unimaginable Closer I Headlong It will be No fear No worry Not an once Of concern For what’s next Nothing Or everything Matters not An escape From this place From my ways Is good enough For a man like me I am not sad Nor am I afraid I am nothing really An empty pit Hellishly thick Is the air That invades Flooding in Filling the seams Saturating my mind Allowing me no peace Showing me Who I really am And what I must do Never letting me Be sure of anything else This is fate This is an escape A way down From all that is above My head sinks My heart falls Closer I Then ever before I’m ready to go Quick to leap Feet first Tumbling down The sound Like all things else Is nothing The impact I’m sure will be great But I won’t know How could I All that I’ve known I knew when I Was so alive I hated every second Of my tedious existence And now I hate nothing Least of all… Closer I Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
