38: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

My sleeping body lies in an open unmarked grave,
I have fallen from the cliff's edge,
And landed at death's door.

I am sick with the plague called Life,
The days have all blurred into one.
I can't remember the last time I slept without being rudely interrupted.

I walk without knowing where I'm going,
Or even thinking on where to go.
My feet guide me through the sea of nothingness.

Life has depleted my energy,
It has taken away the person who I use to be
The fire burning behind my eyes has now died.

I lay here surrounded by the dead thinking of what could have been,
If I wasn't infected by this disease.
A killer plague called:

Life.
