Author's note: This is a poem about a character named Mind in my friend's story The Silence Is Sickening by Melanie Swirls. Please read the story first.
A gift it started, a curse it is,
A brain that is unique,
A mind that is powerful,
An intelligence to control,
The mind exploded,
I suffered greatly,
I realized the horror,
The man was lying,
He was an evil man,
He offered a deal,
I took it, it was amazing,
I wanted it, I got it,
The head hurt,
The mind churned,
I was upside down,
Not possible,
A pain of a thousand headaches,
I abused the power,
I destroyed the power,
Now, I use it for good,
Or as good as I can do,
Because even I,
Am not perfect,
I cannot always control,
Someday, I will kill again,
After that day,
I shall never live again.
I shall never breathe again,
I shall never see again,
I shall never be again.
