- After all
(Poem by me)
Sitting by the calm river
Watching flowers wither
Sounds greeting my ears gently
At first appearing as friendly
I cannot sleep, I'm too tired
Leading to outcomes less desired
Daisies blooming over my body
As all landscapes become dreamy
Calm forest, enlighten me
I watch you answer eerily
Is all this truly real?
Or is this yet another mental ideal?
I watch you fluoresce
The sun shines in excess
A threat is looming
I watch the slug that the ants are consuming
It all makes sense, though absurd
Your voices scares off the birds
It's not just connected to a motif
As I step on the dead leaves
Cruel words, your only tongue
I fear anyone with the same tone
Spare me, please spare me
I beg the birch tree
Wildlife watching in curiosity
While I drown in my apologies
Buildings are shaking
Staring as the daydream is breaking
Collapsing, one after the other
Too slow to run for a cover
Laying under a concrete corpse
The coughing made my throat hoarse
Can you hear my cries from below?
I can't even see the sun glow
Help is coming too late
Air is lessening under my home's weight
My reaction's delayed
Without an umbrella, I stay in the rain
I'm just wondering
When will come the relief?
Every day
I hear your screams of pain
Was it truly worth all the suffering?
After all, Happiness is brief
And always, I'm coughing
From afar, I watch a happier galaxy
Here's nothing you could purify
Even after destruction, there are still thieves
I have learnt nothing
From all of this tragedy
Struck by grief, I only cry
After all, Happiness is brief
I always have to be alert
The world has become a wasteland
Yet I still find your book
I turn the pages in disbelief
Hearing your dirty words
Feeling your unwanted hands
Averting my gaze from your perverted looks
After all, Happiness is brief
Perhaps that makes me a hypocrite
Criticising a system
But without it I'm distraught
You water flowers as I hide underneath
Laying there, just taking it
Does that truly make me a victim?
Others fight back, I could not
After all, Happiness is brief
How do you have access?
To all the plans for the tragedy?
Was your friendship just an illusion?
You aren't as nice as you seemed
Is a person truly worthy of forgiveness?
Or is your heart truly just empty?
Rage will always control humans
After all, Happiness is brief
