BROKEN

Broken

It’s time for me to wake up

I’ve been asleep for far too long

My legs are still not moving

I stayed awake, just waiting

It’s been many hours since then

My legs no longer feel so numb

My vision is clear and dull

My body awaiting upheaval

I try lifting myself on my arms

My back creaks and breaks

I fall back to where I was

Now I’ve to wait a few more hours

The delay in my movement is gone

I can move quite freely now

But now, I fear trying again

‘Cause I might fall somewhere else

Dejected and given up, I laid in bed

Awaiting the unholy angel of death

Hunger choked on my moral soul

It said wake up, go for a stroll

With great power I overcame it

Now I laid still in wait for it

My heart cried out from below

It had gone soft and mellow

I tried closing my eyes

Depriving myself of blatant sights

My heart finally now, understood

That death was absolutely good

Now my mind started rationalizing

It said that life was really worth living

Now that I was all fit and fine

I should wake up, and thank the divine

I shunned my mind from anymore thought

It had done a deed, which was not sought

It slumped down into its own crevasses

It tried overcoming me within closed spaces

A lonely fly sought to live some more

Its wing was hurt and gone sore

It tried to fly past the fireplace

But nature decided to turn its race

I lay still there awaiting

It suddenly stuck on me

I was alive, I could move

I must leave this place now

I said, it’s time for me to wake up

I’ve been asleep for far too long

My legs had stopped moving

I sat there awake, just waiting

The light in the room dulled down

The fire place quenched, and dropped down

Cold darkness blew on my tired face

Now I knew, I myself had made my life abase
