Poem - Salvation

EffingereJuly 10, 2026entertainment

It's leaving me paralysed, this choice of mine

It's gnawing at me, the prospect of salvation

It's hurting like a knife, in my stomach and chest

Over, over, over and then over again

I drift away

Only to wake to the same existence

There's a certain calm to the nothing

It envelopes you, as you quietly fade

But then fire

Every fiber of your body screaming to survive

Back and forth

As you ask yourself

Have I had enough?

...

The pillbox rests next to my bed

The chattering when I shake it, like a hundred promises of End

...

I might have had enough.
