![]() ScenariosA Poem by danalyn![]() Note: Thoughts of Death![]() I have thought of my death. The first scenario, was in my school Along the patterned walkway and traffic Running to make it to my father, picking us up In a large white van, dismissible among others Until a tug of a hair, a blink and eyelash One misstep unto this colorless street, My last careless mistake. The second scenario was in foreign land. Country, descendants of conquistadors and colonizers To study the world for an additional four years. And looming figures consuming me whole My blood seeping into cleaner streets Screams falling death in crisp air And frail hands reaching for my family An entire sea away The last scenario was of my own doing Of my own thoughts and angst And heartbreak after another I do not know how to commit such an act I don't want to slit my wrists and taking pills would make me wait I don't want to jump, i'm afraid of heights But the feeling and want is still there, Frighteningly standing near me, and watching My last actions on this world I thought of my death, The scenarios And the aftermath More than i thought Of my own life © 2023 danalyn |
