My first Flowers for Algernon fic. Well, actually, it's a poem for an English project. It's a bunch of haikus put together. I know haikus are not supposed to be so straight forward but I'm just not good at that stuff, okay? Oh and if you didn't notice, my summary is made up of two haikus.
I do not own Flowers for Algernon
Reverting the Inevitable
I can feel it drain
Like a sponge on the sidewalk
Sitting in the sun
Please don't let it go
I need my intelligence
I am not aging
Younger and younger
Turning more and more child-like
Why Algernon, why?
I want Ms. Kinnian
No, I mean I want Alice
I want to love her
To hold her once more
I want to relate to her
Why did I do that?
I turned her away
With my advances to Fay
Who should I love, choose?
The unique artist?
Or the delicate teacher?
I only love one
I'm like a puppy
Blindly glad, I tried to please
How stupid was I?
Very dumb indeed
I want, no, I need to know
When it will happen
It's not a wonder
I know, for sure, it will be
Please don't let it go
I want to be smart
I don't want any ridicule
Not the empty smile
I'm forgetting words
Pronunciations and all
And my own research
Inevitable
Like the rising sun and death
I can only wait
