death will have to wait


~ making sense of scattered seeds of thoughts

who shall I be today
but a character in a game
escaping my originality

in a state of nothingness
neither darkness nor light
exists in this world

new/used stem cells
injected into a dying brain
revitalizes my sense of self

replaying who I used to be
for the very last time
alive yet on the battlefield

    I love this poem and all its possibilities, especially where the third stanza takes it. Please never escape your originality though.
