The Twenty-Fifth Letter


my mind asks...

what the hell is wrong i don't know sometimes this happens sometimes the anxiety and the worry and the fear build growing bigger and bigger but there is no source no cause just the empty why is that why do i suffer so?

... i look to the beyond, but it does not reply

my body asks...

gods why can't i be like him like my hero like my alter ego like the me that isn't me instead look at me pathetic worthless a waste of a soul not worth the canvas not fair it's just not fair why can't i be the me i want to be?

... i look to the beyond, but it just makes me cry

my souls asks...

why why show me heaven why show me the ultimate prize my one my "the" my true special beautiful my soul mate why why show me something so beautiful so precious so full of fire and rage so unattainable i love her she loves me i think yet there are complications the idiot the selfish foolish idiot about to lose a true angel if he is not careful but still i yearn perhaps forever but why not now why?

... i look to the beyond, and i ask it why.

the twenty-fifth letter
is never a good question
to ask.
it maddens
it taunts
it teases
it slowly takes me
away from me
chipping away
chip chip chipping away
until all that is left
is the pain
and the tears
and the maddening torture of
my mind
slowly slipping away
so far from my grasp.
so aware am i yet
so weak
to do anything
so powerless
to stop the pain.
the twenty-fifth letter
is never a good question
to ask.
