KICK OF LIFE
However do I spill this?
Do you see how thin I look?
My eyes are blind
I hear loud noises every now and then
Like a train of loaded thoughts passing through my brain.
Yes, I also can't breathe well on Fridays
When I see Mr. Renfield
Feeding his mule
With grass from our farm.
When I decide to take my life
You'll know
That all along
The signs were there-
Radiating; they bore a neon color.
They were calling you, seeking.
Unfortunately,
The help will be tardy
The plane departed
And landed in darkness
In a hot mess, in hell.
And Mr. Renfield will be watching
Since his house has high windows.
I should know
I've been there twice now.
The bed is supposedly higher than the others
And there I lay
Unmoving, unconscious.
And he, busy atop a lady
Only pain and blood as evidence.
But who to show to?
Since my uncle is busy in the fields
His hands ploughed and battered like old bread
His back hunched hard in the sun
His eyes
Gone, and thus
He does it best
Ignore.
And also, Mr.Renfield is a friend he says.
There's a creature in my stomach.
It's strange and small
It moves all the time.
And only then
Does the world quieten
As I listen with my soul.
And yes I despise
But one unborn does not bear the blame.
So I hold on
Hold on with my bony hands
I will not let him win.
Though the mind is weak
And sometimes I lose control.
But the kick
The kick breathes life into me again.
