The Lesson
Well...
I'd never guess such a unclassical fate
Yet upon my endeavours
Walking among fallen feathers
Believing I'd make it to the greats
It's funny
Of course people would so simply say
No
Don't do it
It's not worth all this
But upon the internal screeching inside my ear
I can not hear it
The sound drowns out
And now I'll count...
1...2...3...4
I don't feel needed anymore
5...6...7...8
No I can't hear you, its far to late
9
10
I'm writing sloppy with this pen
Feel far too numb
Here I lay...
Upon the bed in which I was born
Oh here
Look here
It's my whole family
Crowding around
I blow out the candles
the air thickens with smoke
Where am I now?
Look it's mummy and daddy
Wait where's daddy going?
Where's daddy gone?
Is he ever coming back?
The floor falls from underneath me
I'm back in bed
My flesh upon my arms and legs are bleeding
But there is no sensation
What have I done?!
I shouldn't be here!
Doctor I'm okay
Please leave me to lay
My family have crowded around me again
My dad is here
Beside mum
Everyone's crying
The world around me dissipates
The light... I see it!
I'm going to it!
Goodbye mummy
Goodbye daddy
I'm happy now
But I am sad
I don't know what to do
I'm scared
Someone help
Ouch what is that?
It feels as though Zeus had struck me with his lightning bolt
There it goes again
Wait...
I'm back...
Hello family
I'm okay
There's no need to cry
I'm sorry for doing this
Forgive me
I'm sorry
I need my rest
I need to sleep
Goodnight
