Living Inside a Coffin

Inside a coffin, yet I breathe… Surprised! For I had woven my own wreath. My body was by nobody murdered It was life itself that surrendered. To life I think I gave my best Put up the happiest face no matter what it’s jest! A lesson for me though I learnt it late Nobody has power, it’s you who writes your own fate. The fear of losing the ones’ I love the most Chased me everywhere like an unseen ghost! The universe like a genie reading my mind: “what ever in her heart let her find!” In my heart was a plethora of fears, Of losing more people, ensuing more tears. Who says life is complicated? I believe it’s as simple as that: What you most want you never get! Making a last wish I pray for death, Lying inside my coffin, counting every breath.

The angst of seeing the bright horizon but not being able to touch it comes through. the feeling of surrender to fate comes through strongly. Kind regards, Ian
