I am too afraid to live, but too afraid to die...

Since the day that I was born
Delivered into this bitter world
The same monotony everyday

In the morning I awake
And during the night I sleep
This tautological cycle is killing me

I sit in my room, with a blank expression
Clutching a cold razor in my hand
Every ascetic second, cogitating

My other hand presses the flesh too hard
With eyes dilated, and shot with blood
My veins begin to surface above the skin

Suddenly, a presage inflates my mind
Like a bright light flashing before my eyes
I see myself buried six feet under, atrophied

This God-fearing manifestation, saved me
Where this intuition came from is beyond me
Someone, somewhere, must care about me
