Rumors are rightA Poem by LanaThe rumor is right I died last year I was put in a comma in the middle of the street It was close to midnight, a street light flickered out of existence and so was I Nobody caught me No one will catch you when you fall The gaunt-faced monster waits for us all, at some point in our lives It is about whether you have the courage to kill it or not Even if you do, life has a tendency to send poisonous flowers your way Snakes disguised as rabbits, You'll never know when you fall, and you'll never know when you die But if you look back on it, you see how the dots somehow all connected perfectly You are supposed to fall You are supposed to die Your downfalls are sewed and stitched perfectly Piece by piece Snip by snip So what was once bland clothing, becomes designer The last thing I saw when I died were seraphic white flakes I watched as they multiplied and rested on my face I knew, in that moment, things would be different That I'd see things differently That I'd be transported in another realm against my will All I can see is the darkness And all I can hear is a muffled sound But what I feel is different My soul is being divided in two In three, then four I don't know who I am anymore But I think piece by piece Snip by snip What was once a frail disregarded spirit Will become a strong soul © 2016 Lana |
