UNRECOGNIZABLE

 

Looking into a mirror, I see a man staring back that is unrecognizable; death screams to me from within my soul; its hint is advisable.  The laughter I hear from those standing around me is quite sizeable; to think hope will spring from a well of happiness is unrealizable.

 

So, here I stand alone once again.

 

Again, I groan from this inner pain.

 

Night falls; the moon shines her faithless kiss upon my head; instead of living I remain forever part of the undead.  Rotting, the worms eat at the brain as I sit tangled... in chains.  The ax cannot cut to the root or the grain; I seem to perish in a hell, where mercy is abstain. 

 

I cannot tell what I feel.

 

There is no God to make an appeal.

 

Blood in my veins dry out as the heat of this earth scorch; a thimbleful of water is what I need to revive this evil.  Will someone come by this uncertain man and pass the torch; nothing in your passing, I promise, will see love or civil. 

 

I am unrecognizable to myself.

 

All that’s left is himself.
