He can feel the bubbles rising up his throat
The sickly stench of guilt and pain
Filters his soul, no noise
Drifting, he pauses and takes a step towards the fire
Can’t you see him tire, and lay his aching body?
On the ground

He can see clearly now
Eyelids hesitate before they breathe a last and shallow glance
At all the world
He’s seen the rain come
The plans they made, they didn’t go so well
And now he’s someplace where nobody knows his name
A polluted river swirls at his feet
It’s good bye again.


Note: Stuck in a rut, getting those creative juices flowing. Do not like this much, got no idea what it's about but maybe it will return the ideas.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

I liked it very much.
Sounds like a bad "nowhere" to be...
Actually a relatable write, indeed.

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm"

As I look at this world and realize that I am the only one to have seen the end of all Good I let the tears out that and ask the world to see them.
