Chapter 11 - Happy birthday

Happy birthday they say

While on my face anguish lay

I try and wash it with expectations everyday

Though my faith slowly decay

The world isn't purely Black or white today

Guess my eyes only perceive the colour gray

My eyes, clogged unable to see the right way

A day or another I'll fall in this cold bay

Drowning in it Falling deeper to feel okay

While I have these waves of sorrow to slay

An impossible idealistic standard to obey

Maybe it's the wrong idea i convey

An underlying message to make you stay

Tossed iam by these waves to sway

I feel guilty as if I was the one who did betray

My skin shrinks in this inky water

The worldly pleasures I wish to slaughter

The air that escaped me making my time shorter

Of course I know I shouldn't breathe inside it

Water filling my lungs pained as if iam lit

The fishes passing me by, their fins failing to hit

Can I rest in this state, won't it be fit?

To accept myself as an average, just to sit

To sit in this stream and just quit

All the failures that i should just submit

Life flashing before my eyes i must admit

But there came the hands that did emit

This pure light, suddenly I was out of the pit

While I sat and wondered about the kind hand

I coughed water and blood on this land

I cleaned my eyes to clearly see where I stand

Taking in the air at the edge of the bay

I told myself I have some purpose and shouldn't delay

An interesting character maybe, to portray.
