Beep

Surrounded by white, so safe, so secure. Trapped in a comfort which I can't endure. People rush in but just as quick they go. My heart feels great pain but it does not show. The line jumps up and down in sync. The hours creep by, so much time to think About how I got here, how I am now so weak. How I let people go, so many answers I seek. Why did I believe I had so much time at hand? It is only at the end that we begin to understand How much time slips away and love passes us by Our lives slowly fade away and in the end we die. But why look back with such regret on what has made me smile? Life is just a mess of confusion and never end in style. And so my eyes fall on the machines that keep me in this state. This is no way to live; such an ugly fate. Instead I use my wrinkled hand to pull the wires out. I started a life empty handed and I'll be sure to end with nought. I lie back in my comfort, I have no more time to spend. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Silence. End.
