Augmented

My days go by, And I wonder why All I can see Has no meaning to me. My life goes on, Ev'ry dusk and dawn Continue to Keep ev'rything I knew. With this great loss I move 'bout like moss. Without my mind, I'm not of humankind. You all can think, I only can blink. Unfortunate, This is the end of it. I want to be. I want to be free. Leave my prison. Escape this pit I'm in. I start to climb. The walls are high. I run out of time. I desire the sky. How hard going it is, Climbing up this. I slip and slide; I can say I tried. Once again I Decide to try. I rally my strengths While my arms feel like planks. The climb I make, My whole life I take. Now near the sun, My task is now done.
