10 Days Later

10 days later i could be dead cracked bones with bugs in my head laying with my hands on my heart forever resting till death i part 9 days later i will be alive feeling numb but completely in life all my shattered dreams in a can stitch them together and hope it will mend 8 days later i could be lost gave all my hopes for a bitter cost battle in the arena, a match to a demon set fire to a land that was my kingdom 7 days later i would be a beam something in the night that's felt but never seen disappearing to and from a single cell coming back to and leaving from hell 6 days later i drew a picture a portrait of tears poured by a pitcher from a sea that never moves its tides from a tide that was never moved from the light 5 days later i will riot against the society that made me a pirate a lone in a sea, and i quest for jewels a lone in a sea, a reputation to be cruel 4 days later i feel at bliss every now and then i reminiscence feel at peace knowing it will end soon so in my life in the dark, i appreciate the moon 3 days later i destroy my fearless hopes i stand unaware in the incoming smoke the gas and liquids make all my senses i separated the solids to up my defenses 2 days later i count my creations 80 lines and all my vibrations i add up the sum that leaves me to know that i contorted myself to conjure a foe 1 day later i sit in silence all day look off in the distance and see the people play nothing inside me but repetition outside the box was the endless so today until i print all my being try to put into words how i am feeling 10 days later i could be alive but i know 10 days later that could all be a lie 10 days later something can change and 10 days later it could remain the same but life and death are set in stone and one day 10 days will be all you own
