Poem
Note:***This poem is meant to be read from the bottom to the top, left to right ------------------------------------------------------------------ Never Again and you remain— For the World has gone from me and fled The stairway of my mind shall never end I accept the fate with the grinning dead Hello again demons, hello friends I remain Alas! I fall and I am done Tell me where have you fled, my love, my friend? For a moment I gaze upon the sun Here I am on earth again 1 Stair Remains Why can’t I be free? Tell me, why aren’t they looking at thee? Why are they looking at me? 2 Stairs Remain The garments of comfort I long to wear Knowing in my heart that I’ll never win I skip that grimy third stair Like most of my life has been 3 Stairs Remain Though my infected feet leave bloodstains I can’t release even a single tear The poisons encompass my river of veins I step on thorns of wrath and fear Enshrouded with pain! 4 Stairs Remain Oh, how am I to survive? Relieve me from this ever-fixed sadness Why can’t you just be alive? Cease this madness! 5 Stairs Remain As you breathe your very last breath The devilish fiends laugh at me They are blaming me for your death The deaths of the masses are calling me 6 Stairs Remain The carcasses you feed upon are glaring Oh! vulturous world so full of greed When everyone is staring God, redeem me! I just can’t succeed 7 Stairs Remain Of other fiendish sins And I feel the shivers Drowned by the turbulent wind My stale breath quivers 8 Stairs Remain Though we all aren’t free They laugh below in the hole where I fell The demons are haunting, taunting me Alone I wander blindly out of hell 9 Stairs Remain And my will is close to gone… The stairway continues on Forever hungry, forever stale I toil through death’s dark vale 10 Stairs Remain Why can’t we be free? My resistance is nearly gone The wretches are watching, stalking me I’m too exhausted to move on
