18+ a dark poem about life and the true nature of end to be faced by a man like me. |
-Fading To Blackness- by Keaton Foster I use to I was once Long before Another time A different place Same familiar shape Same beating heart Such a logical mind Much younger Devoid of age Lacking experiences Without understanding Nonetheless I tried For a time I got buy For a time I truly survived But of course Without a doubt Chained to absolute certainty I knew that I was doomed Set up to fail Destruction has always been King of such a condemned castle No one, most of all me Was ever meant to live inside Only darkness can reside Only nothing can find a home Where no one else could ever hope Most of all a boy turned man like me I have always been lacking the tools That should have been given to me That should have been expressed Dealing with all that has been Has become an impossible sin Long since vacant of the emotions Needed to care as I should But truth be told Regardless of my faults And despite all that I confess I am with and without I care least of all I am not afraid I am unconcerned I use to I once was Another time A different place No longer is that the case Fading to blackness As crudely introduced chemicals Foreign to my being work through Quickly I am becoming unquantifiably numb Approaching the end of my run Life and death should be Much more discernible then this But like everything else I fear that is not how it is… Fading To Blackness Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
