A Forgotten Poem

Found the following poem I had written... haven't a clue when.


Your End Has Come

Pop! The sound of a gun going off.

The impace of a bullet hits with a force like the wind being knocked out of you.

The smell of smoke encompasses the very breath around you.

The tears that run down your face are salty to the taste.

The darkness of night cloaks the eye,

Allowing the murderer to escape into the shadows.

You listen, there are sirens, but the are too far away.

As death encloses around you, it begins to strip you of the very senses you enjoy.

Your life is now a motion picture running through your mind.

As death continues to enclose around you,

You feel the shocking, shivering, sickening coldness that is its companion.

The senses that earlier screamed at you to keep fighting, become more dense.

Your breathing becomes labored and very shallow.

As the final moments of death totally encapsulate you, your heart finally stops beating.

The pain is finally over, the sirens have arrived, but alas they are too late.

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Babylon 5 Destruction

 I always get emotional watching the last episode of Babylon 5. Especially the destruction of the station. There are so many good memories of the series that it's just emotional watching JMS flipping the switch and the station exploding as the last transport leaves. It's like oh the series is really over. The station has served its purpose not needed anymore. Was peace ever really achieved though? It makes me wonder. I've only watched the series once all the way through, I'm on a second rewatch. One of my favorite characters is Mr. Morden. I'm not sure why that's the case, he's creepy as all get out. I just know that he intrigues me for some reason or another. Kosh is also a mystery, but he's meant to be that way. He's an alien that no one seems to understand or grasp. The whole story arc is simply amazing. It was television ahead of its time. I'm glad it was made. Talk about a brilliant television series. It was one of the first serialized shows...
