A Persistent Pondering

by Chris C - Taurus

I shiver in fright
Secluded sadly far beyond the light
An imprisoning life sentence amidst my mind
In this blinding darkness there lay nothing to find
The hollow and horrid, they harvest my being
Happiness, I am quite longed from seeing
Peevish people persist to ripen; I shall rot still
This mundane mortality is merely nil
Why can’t you all stay away
I love you – never dare say
I wish not of your considerable care
For a brutal burden I ever bear
Just neglect this nuisance that is me
There is else than you’ll ever see
Do not carelessly infer my existence dear
When I go - forfeit not a tear
“A child’s mind, sorrow had slave”
Carve it so sweetly on my grave
My sunken soul was life’s own blunder
Finally bent content six feet under
Yet, if my mind torments me still
When the clouds rumble and the sky festers ill
Heed closely to the grieving gusts that be
The soft, muffled whimpers of tattered agony
Eerie echoes valor along branches over head
A granted wish waned sour upon the dead
Yet, who knows about his relentless decay
Only I can wait it out – this eternal stay
