Thinking of the way the wind blows It seems a bit lighter today. Closing my eyes, I lose moments of my existence; A year left to live… Is it a curse to have the task Of writing daily? Should I blame the sky For all the wear I’m undertaking, Before an undertaker Assesses my lifeless figure And helps others remember Who I was-- Resurrecting me with makeup And sewing me back together?
Is it a curse to be alive, Living only half of what was promised As sleep takes the stars from my sight And blinking steals moments Out of every frame of my life? It’s hard to be witness To such an existence I wonder what their punishment Will be if I miss a day posting. Should I resign? Or will they just force me? I’m afraid of what’s to come, But blinking is stealing Moments of my life away-- Moments, I surmise, that in bargaining, I could regain.
