Bury Me Alive

The years that have flown seem so long

The collection of memories don't hold as much value

The despondency and risks are no longer euphemisms to my childhood

Rather

A sudden development, a need to take stride the world

Searching for "happy" accidents to come across

With one silent wish held in stagnancy at the back of my head and heart

Where the arrows hit my vitals

Where the one who pulled the notch wasn't me

Where I can close my eyes and not hear the cries

As they bury me tonight
