Death is upon me;
I feel it coming.
This ache inside
Has been here for too long.
It surely is a miracle
My time has not yet come.
It isn't coming yet,
But soon it will be here.
This I am sure of,
For...
Seeking help out of this hole,
I've been reading books of old,
The legends and the myths.
Heroes overcoming challenges;
How did they do it?
Here I am,
Sitting,
Worrying,
Crying.
Slipping away little...
Walking down the stairs,
Thump, thump, thump as my feet hit the wood steps.
I creep to the kitchen for food.
Night cereal.
Darn.
No milk in the fridge.
How can I eat now?
No options.
I solemnly walk upstairs,
Drowning...
Tomorrow is a new day.
Tomorrow will be the same;
they will place me in a box,
perhaps with gentle hands.
“What soft fur!” they will exclaim.
“What bright green eyes!”
The fire around my neck is invisible...
