Words to Remember

By Christian Dejesus

Fate begins as one man awakes from Deep slumber like when a movie starts playing He wakes to nothing Darkness, soundless, He sheds a tear of sorrow As gravity lifts up a lifeless man Not caring about anything He gets ready with his disheartening day in life As he leaves his house he feels a chain A chain that is holding him By his arms and legs, not letting him go As if he completely forgot something dear in life, He tries to proceed but it won’t let go, He hears a voice from Inside his house other than The rusty chains hitting each other He must be going insane? Voices grow louder as if you’re in a basement that echoes, The voices come from an old door with its paint peeled off The door slowly opens Like a rusty gate swinging Nothing there just a single bed As he lays down Nothing happens other than sinking down. As I close my eyes Slight breeze on my ear The man opened his eyes the bright color outside was warm Standing in front of him A woman dressed in white with a smooth veil She says sorry for not being with you till the end but… Enjoy life, have fun, and live... As fate begins once again one man awakes and remembers One word, “Live.”
