Less then ten thousand days in
Less then ten I see ahead

Somnamali slept and wept
        to the deepest depth

Turning in face
         to every place
Running the race
         at a different pace

Now to far behind to catch
To catch the thieves
          to ever leave
those immortal mooners
and late night consumers

Wishing the sun
         and different fun
How, When, Where , and Why
Did I lose this guy

A mantel has been drawn
       but now is gone
A stage is now laid
       but cant be conveyed

Who among my mind
will send the next sign
North, South, East, or West
Which way can I leave this mess

Borrowing, buying each time I spend
Circling a malady until it's end
Withering closer to the Spot! I've graved
As the friends within seem to fade

As more galloping comes with the ghost once were
Darkness enters with a breath ...... of impure

Too towards in ear of a sibilant surrouding
Hearing not; what the heart is pounding

Caught between a cage and the creator
Making sense of 'those' in higher prayer
They're in doubt but afraid to ask
Not I! said the one in the writing mask

I will fall in deep to the abaddon of the book
Until I hit the Spot! I never took

Bo,

27 years old ? ( Less than 10,000 days in ) Disease eating away at life, as you sleep. Wanting to go towards warm weather and enjoy what time is left. Not knowing How, When, Where , or Why it’s all happening. Different parts of the body are exhibiting showing signs. Not sure, but I think the Spot is where life comes to it’s conclusion.

Hope this death thing I perceive is a metaphor and not reality.

There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief

Bo,
Keep expressing yourself. People wear many masks (referring to the portion that says "Not I! said the one in the writing mask") but eventually we all need to take those mask off and really be ourselves.  I liked the poem!

Thanks for the replies.  Byrd I'm only 25.  I just like counting the days I've lived instead of years.  It will make life seem longer (or shorter) I think.  Anyway thanks again all.
