Succumb To Illness
All those days spent in pain.
Memories washed away by the rain.
To have misplaced a forgotten loved one.
Falling into the depths of illness.
Now, I realize what it is like to succumb.
Where did those days of greatness go?
What have I become?
A monster with great power?
Maybe, I have succumb to illness.
My heart begins to beat.
Fast
Faster
Even Faster
As I hear the sirens buzzing in my ears.
In my mind...
I feel empty and dark.
In my mind...
I'm dying inside.
In my mind...
Voices are screaming words of terror.
I have lost.
The battle of life and death has been done.
It's what I hate most.
I have lost.
As I tell myself that it'll all be over soon...
I hear my mother saying "Sweetie wake up."
Stunned to death I awake.
Frantically, searching through my mind.
I find that I will never succumb to illness.
