Poem for creative writing class about living life as the last human...in my living room. |
| The silence surrounded me, Flicker of the candle flame dancing. Not another soul have I seen. Humanities greed left nature prancing, Oh glorious is the silence. Technology useless, music produce-less. And here I sit, last alive, all alone. Why do I linger, Life felt so meaningless before. Now a life of solitude and no one at my door. Solitude has left the world wide open Yet here I sit, afraid of freedom. Afraid to to explore.... Shhhh.....listen what's that noise? The door, light and dim.... Knocking? A quiet request for entry? Chances of that slim, To the door I go, knocking louder Sweat drips, skin crawls, chills grow. Why am I such a coward... Another human? Contact? Life? A future? If that's the case I must know! I slam the door open... And freedom stands there. An empty door way Which guards the way to so much more. So out I go, away from fear, Time to explore, to escape from here. So long useless living room, No longer will I slowly die within you. |
