Life

Anger.
Tears.
Silence.
Fear.
Despair.
A memory is lost in a thought
And that thought becomes a memory.
Whisper.
Whimper.
Frustration.
Anxiety.
A crude awakening to the curse of the years
Passing us by merciless and remorseful.
Passion.
Regret.
Undying wanton and desire of a life worth living, now wasted away.
Love’s surreal emotions all come together, exhaling one last cry:
Let me be free or let me die!
