A/N: A Japanese-only novel by Mita Masahiro, with the English translation available by japanesenovels at their wordpress blog. The themes of life and death are quite interesting in it, so this poetry collection is aiming to explore some of those. Enjoy!
Written for the Freeverse Poetry Boot Camp at the Poetry Craze (link's in profile), prompt #029 – futuristic.
there's no point in living
so let's die together
/1/
It's a waste to try too hard.
Once you lose something, you've lost everything
too young – is that how it is?
It's what they say, anyway,
but truthfully,
isn't that what you're supposed to do?
Aim for the top,
for the future…
So why was it that those adults
didn't want me to aim?
Promises, truths, ideals,
the greatness of this new generation
they sit upon –
It's all a lie.
