The Day: It was Embedded within Me

As I sleep... feeling suspended and tethered, to an Abyss of Darkness...

 

I feel something... Different... Something strange...

 

It's inside of me now... It's so so deep inside now...

 

With my eyes sealed shut... I see it... I see it so much clearer now...

 

It's as if my wrists were merely pulled, restraining me to the pen and paper...

 

As if they were my sword and shield, to prepare me...

 

For significant triumphs, considerable falls, and plentiful mistakes to come...

 

Baiting me, to just fend myself off from a horde of mere grunts... Soley lonesome

 

Awaking and keeping me, in this so-called "Fortress of Solitude"...

 

Where my only options were to... keep everything in my cranium...

 

Or else I'd be done for... Everything would just come spewing out...

 

My solely at best option, was to write...

 

So... I began to write about my journey, through this venture to the "Great Beyond" ...

 

I've never witnessed anything like this before...

 

To take such control of my brain... Affecting me like this...

 

It materialized, in the Abyss of Darkness abruptly...

 

As a Silhouette... In the great yonder, without passage no further...

 

Striking itself to be, a glorified artifact...

 

Containing... Unimaginable, information and great strengths

 

This "artifact" was meant to be worshiped, being an almighty obelisk...

 

Awaiting the day, that hopefully, it could save everyone...

 

But the followers only rise to the top, with prizes unobtainable to the common eye...

 

Yet, the follower's accomplishments are embroidered among their bodies and flesh...

 

Marking individuals for the rest of their lives until the day they wither away and pass...

 

But for many generations to come to these individuals have left their information and pieces of "Poetry"...

 

To be shared among others, To be understood by others and just to be loved by the “followers “...

 

While having the backing and assistance from countless followers... these followers show they are enthusing for what they love but they also emphasize all their time and devotion spent on... their so-called "Poetry"...

 

Becoming a "follower" is something natural to happen.

 

An event, situation or catastrophe can trigger it...

 

Although its usual events that take in place that trigger it...

 

Or even a horrendous situation that catches the whole world all by their ears...

 

Finally getting everyone’s bodies moving...

 

Not only for something greater and better...

 

But constrained towards in addition for the greater of the good among our society that's filled to the brim with these "situations"...

 

Even ultimately catastrophic events, altering the whole world around us completely...

 

Considering as we know it, leaving it in the back of our minds...

 

A trickling hourglass, showing that time is merely dropping away...

 

Till that possible... Yet insignificant, inevitable doom of our planet as we know it...

 

My eyes instantaneously opened, disclosing myself in a Darkroom...

 

Breathing lucid lighting to the environment, allowing my eyes to view at the pictures briefly...

 

At last, my eyes adjust to the room, revealing pictures scattered among the high wire of the room...

 

The photos... They were of me...

 

Going from different points, among my lifespan...

 

From superb smiles to frustrating frowns...

 

To half-faced half smiles and deniably dumb smirks...

 

Enjoyable laughter to nothing at all... What so ever...

 

Feeling as I know... I'm still stuck with the "artifact"...

 

Still considering... "Hey"...

 

"My life hasn't started just yet"

 

I just need to wake up...

 

And to smell the aroma from the freshly picked roses...

 

To perceive their softness, against my skin fragmented skin...

 

To conclude, yet behold that one single thing...

 

That the virtue of how beauteous as well as exquisite, as they truly are...

 

In the long run...

 

I still have a journey to run...

 

I was here for a reason...

 

It's time to roam my path and allowance of the marking...

 

It's time for the true adventure to begin...
