Kingdom

Barely a thought, hardly aware, I emerge into reality, my imagination, none existent. Learning, loving, sharing, growing... 

I want more..


Feating passion, overwhelming dread of failure... 

NO!! I will SUCCEED!


A goal to strive for, motivation to spare, imagination to make dreams a reality. 

I WILL be KING!


Days, months, years, time marches on, mercilessly. Fleeting, uncaring to my life. 

Never enough time in a day..


As I now sit, upon my throne, an old man, I look back upon my time. I dwell on the hurdles I overcame. 

If I only knew what I do now.. I would do it all again, in a heartbeat.


Laying on a bed.. unable to move.. unable to feel. I smile at the ceiling.

I am content.

I die, not as a man, but as a King within his Kingdom. I was the architect of this mighty Kingdom, now set in stone.. forever.
