A story written in poetry about a life |
Two more days I sat in that seat of emptiness for over 5 days. I just couldn't figure out what to say My back ached and my legs did swell Sitting all these hours may have seemed like hell But I didn't want to move I had nothing to prove To anyone No not for fun I evaded truth as it tried to put me under the hot light But in five whole days I only blinked twice I crossed my knees and shifted in the chair It might seem silly to you, but I did not care The room seemed to spin Again, and again I folded my hands on my lap And shuffled my feet and did a tap I imagined I was on an island of fools And there were no rules I picked up a pen and finally wrote About being in a capsized boat out on the water Of a grand sea And no one had come to look for me The sun came up and went down again And I thought about the time I had one friend But they died And I began to hide From the sadness and anger Because I wanted to blame her For being shot in the chest And leaving me in this mess On this boat, still afloat Why do not the heavens respond? I know God sees what I am on Save me Rescue me From me Lord don't you see The chair has floated away And I will sit here for another day I cover my face And its sea water I do taste. Suddenly a giant wave came And washed me ashore And I ended up just like before Alone, unhappy feeling left out I don't know what this is all about Hits, licks, kicks and demanding All without understanding Born into coldness With nothing but boldness No hand has stayed away Except for these five days Life took me for a swim And bought me back again I shiver in the linings of life Looking for life 3 more days And I will fade away. |
