All that’s left is death; I reach this conclusion vacant. I’m at the end of a soon to be short lived book of poetry, inspired by self-indulgence, passion, the search for eternal wisdom, lust and iniquitous desires for spiritual freedom.
I wonder how I made it this far, and how depression hasn’t thrown the last page of my disgruntled saga into the oblivion before I had a chance to create its ending, how hopelessness hasn’t weakened my will to end my chronicle in a clear headed manner.
I’ve come to realize that I’ve only endured this mind-numbing game of the "Survival of the fittest,†for so long, because of my erratic mania, which never fails to allow me to ignore the narrow-mindedness of the world’s “ see it to believe it,†realism, and enables me to unleash realities’ non-conforming foe, the imagination.
The imagination is an untamed force, filled with vigor. It pours out an abundance of idealistic visions that liberate all that’s left alive within me, and I find myself lost in a world of elusive enigmas, where I travel on sacrificial journeys to find supernatural charisma, that in return, consumes my spirit and irrigates my desolate mind to sprout out audacious, and sometimes provocative lures that possess a hypnotizing echo that imitates the sirens’ enticing song to the prodigal son’s unquenchable flesh.
At the peak, creativity starts to fade away. I try to seize it, but reality wakes me from my dream, my lifeline. It rips away all my inspiration and buoyancy.
I will win. I will write the last page of my legacy; all that’s left is death.
