Better Not To Be (Writing)

Better Not To Be (Writing)

A Poem by Damien Davison
"

It 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.
