Author's note: I have been feeling a distinct lose of one shots so here it
goes...
The poem is mine so please refrain from stealing to gain a better mark in English because I assure you it isn't that good and it probably wouldn't get you a good grade.
*** Fractured Smiles
Veiled in a cloak of fractured smiles
His wings lay bent and bled
On an earth tainted by mortality
Where friends know no friends
And foes no redemption
No Mother wants to find their son lying in a pool of their own blood. In fact I didn't want her to find me. I wanted my dear old dad to but it doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter that she found me or that she cried her eyes out or that she screamed my name and prayed for god to receive nothing from him.
I was going to hell and he was damned if he wasn't going to fix that. Not that I believe in hell or anything for that matter. I believe in nothingness. I believe in the vast darkness that is engulfing my every being. I believe in the numbness that has spread through my body like a sickness. I however do not believe in the small smile that graced my lips as I slowly drifted away from reality
Irony is never lost on me. A smile is never truly sincere. It is either a mask or it is a natural reaction. Our Society has taught us when to smile and laugh. I am on autopilot. I smile when I am supposed to and I laugh when everyone laughs. Which is why you can be dying on the inside and still live surrounded by ignorance. No one noticed the slow deterioration of my well being. But maybe that is because I was eroding form the inside out. I slowly was destroying myself. Not the world.
The important thing to consider is that I refuse to blame the world for my failures to function like a normal human being. I blame myself for not being able to continue to be ignorant. I saw the world in all its glory. I saw our exiled god, our prosecution of the innocent and our destruction of justice. We had taken the pillars of our society and slowly annihilated each and every one of them.
I was lost on the inside. I was torn on the inside. I was ravaged my earths mortality. I had killed the ignorance, the only ignorance that could keep me happy. That is the key to happiness. One must be ignorant of one's surroundings to be truly happy. Irony is the smile on my lips. I had found my ignorance.
When I awoke to bright lights and horribly decorated bed sheets, the smile slowly fell apart. Fractured by my awakening. My revelation of reality. My ignorance stripped away by a fool's attempt to save me. Do not save me, save the foolish. Save the herd of sheep that will listen to your words without meanings.
People will look concerned, people will look wary and people will be afraid of me. I know the truth, and the truth is solely responsible for the demise of us all. I know the secret to the destruction of the world and that is why they will fear me. That is why I fear myself.
Waiting, I sit and ponder again. Lost in the reality of my situation, I wait for my chance at ignorance. Waiting for the herd to accept me disguised in sheep's wool and a smile. Waiting for them to turn their backs, to show them the real wolf with the fractured grin.
The scales have tipped
And left the hungry to starve
And the guilty to revel in sanction
The innocent exiled and their crimes amount
A black flag waves in the east.
***
It is left up to you who it is. As long as it is a male member of the student cast. Frankly I was thinking Toby because he is intelligent enough to understand the workings of world today.
Post an opinion, love me, praise me, hate me. All flames will be considered thoughtfully and then used to cook my dinner. A starving artist has to eat sometime. Gotta fly, Crash.
