Poem
And so, I have made up my mind, once more. I have decided to depart, to bid this husk farewell. In order to do that, I must save coins if I desire to save myself. For with it, I will be able to buy my ticket out here to a more blessed realm or the eternal void. Either way, I will be winning. I mustn't, any longer, feel the starvation of affection and no more I shall be fed by the crumbs of fleeting joy they toss at me. Thoughts of finishing are always in my mind, flooding it, making hard to go day by day, making hard to sleep, to have hope. I fail to see where the hope is, I like to think that it can be find inside of one's heart. But even so, I think I am mistaken, and when I glance at myself in the mirror, I quickly lose any spark of what could-be hope. With the aid of the metallic sling, I shall leave this husf behind, heavy with its sins and sorrows, to no more nourish hatred. For it does only to hinder my advance towards elevation. With my metallic sling, I shall pierce, first, my heart, where lies the sorrow, then, my mind, where resides the sins. Whilst the life in me start to wane, regrets I will not have, when my consciousness fade, my spirit will be no longer be trapped inside this imperfect cage of flesh. Being free, my spirit shall roam far and beyond to, before, unseen places by men, to untouched places by men. Another day,someone inquired me "Are you happy now?" and for that I just said "Yes". How else could I have responded if not with a lie? How could I tell them that I yearn for a premature closure in order to stop thinking and feeling but I also yearn for love. "I am not absolutely happy, as per say, but I do suffer less when I am asleep" I could never say that to anyone...
