I don’t know
I exist or no.
All my senses turned into white ash.
Many years ago
I refused this show,
Threw away my passions like unneeded trash.
I smashed up all mirrors,
I killed viewers and hearers,
I put my gun under my head instead of cozy pillows.
I don’t know
I’m alive or no.
All my cells encrusted with sediment and rust.
I didn’t mark a foe,
I didn’t forecast a blow.
And now I disremembered about the notion of ‘trust’.
I smashed up all mirrors,
I killed viewers and hearers,
I put my gun under my head instead of cozy pillows.
…When I inhale this purple mist
Dead senses start to dance a twist
And I’m ready to stop my run
And hide my gun.
But zombies here. I hear a snigger.
I must exhale. And pull the trigger…

i really like this part:
“I smashed up all mirrors,
I killed viewers and hearers,
I put my gun under my head instead of cozy pillows.”
The whole poem resonated so much within me.

Is this complete desperation or have I missed the point? Well said.

I’ll die twice! Oh MY! That sounds like a harrowing ordeal! Then I’ll make sure I breathe in plenty of oxygen so that I don’t fall to the ground dead. 😛 I look forward to settling in tonight with some brilliant new music.
