Better Not To Be (Writing)A Poem by Damien DavisonIt is better not to be... Not to be what?
I sat, focusing.
Take me up and out of here. So I ascended, going far beyond any stars to be seen. To the center. A glowing cube. All the stars rotating around it. I dive in, not knowing what to expect. Then, a chaotic mind-f**k. I thrashed around, the high pitched ringing unbearable. All I could see was white, even with my eyes closed. Then, peace. I appeared standing in front of a massive doorway. A golden door with red markings glowing around the arch. I walked forward. Straight ahead appeared a door, to my right was a giant hall. The glowing color of fire on gold brick painted my surroundings. I walked towards the door. In the room, to the right, a big circle mechanism filled the back wall. It began turning and extending towards me. Reaching with the claw extension it turned out to be, it handed me a book. As I turned through the pages, I was unable to comprehend anything I was seeing. The markings in the book reflected the markings around the first door. I took the book in to the main hall. A giant appeared at the other end. Me `Why is it I cannot understand this, yet to me it has been given...` Giant `You are not powerful enough for the truths and knowledge it holds...` Me `Please, reveal to me but a page of this `Book of Knowledge`.` Giant `Open the book mortal.` I opened the first page, to read only the beginning, the first 6 words. `It is better not to be...` A sharp pain in my head brought me back to the couch. It is better not to be... Not to be what.
