TO OBLIVION

TO OBLIVION

If tomorrow 
I do not
Awaken,
Know that
I'm in a dream
Choosing to
Live
A beautiful 
Reality...

Do not weep!

I'm fatigued
Of this 
Insensitive
Tattered
Life...
It holds
No meaning 
When there
Are
Hostile
Allies
Around me.

Fairness
Is a mere
Word
Beguiling to the 
Innocent...

Nothing is fair
In this 
Life
Upside down
So if I 
Do not
Awaken
Tomorrow 
Know it is
Because I 
Desire no
Longer to see
Scowls and frowns!

Time of change
Will soon erase
The memory
Of my once
Laughing face.

For life is
Busy
In a meaningless 
Rat race
And should
I choose to
Slumber
Do allow me
To gently
Fade!
