say my name, say my name!
you are…
you’re ********* right I am
I am the chemo coursing
through your blood
pumping you full of hope
deluding you with life’s beguiling bargain
that pain and suffering will allow you to live
forever, if you ask nicely, and
the background music is right
I am the one who walks
away from the inferno
while other souls sizzle
their biographies written in flames
flicked to life by my match
I am the nobody in the room
when you die alone, without the drip of morphine
your terrified eyes searching the stillness
for a childhood vision,
hoping it will be a summer song
rather than winter’s dead bone
I am all you dreaded
all you dreamed, you
have always known me
and followed my tracks
refusing to see me
though I was only
you

Walter White was, as most of you know, the protagonist in the series "Breaking Bad". One may have to know the story line, beginning to end, to comprehend this moody stream of consciousness work
