Falling through an hourglass
Living
Like this will be the last sunrise
Truth
Nobody gets out alive
He masks a little better than most
Internal and external wounds pushed aside
Like atlas shrugs
the world's suffering
He buried the pain deep away
in tiny compartmentalised boxes
Locked away with skeleton key
Caught in the maelstrom of the dead crush
Last minute stay of execution
A thin reprieve
Merrily merrily
Life is but a dream
Like this will be the last sunrise
Truth
Nobody gets out alive
He masks a little better than most
Internal and external wounds pushed aside
Like atlas shrugs
the world's suffering
He buried the pain deep away
in tiny compartmentalised boxes
Locked away with skeleton key
Caught in the maelstrom of the dead crush
Last minute stay of execution
A thin reprieve
Merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

Dear CN,
I found myself in admiration of every line in this poem. There was something relative and relatable in each word. A pithy, clever write. H🌷

Nihilism sprinkled with Ayn Rand and Shakespeare allusions? Fuck yeah! Great job!
