An Oblivion
As blood runs down our arm,
My identity slips away,
On scarlet drops,
This pain we feel,
Is not for them,
But for us.
To keep us tethered to reality,
To have a reason to cry,
Yet a reason to try,
A glimpse of hope,
Enough to blind our eyes,
Our eyes of lies.
Lies that will change us forever,
Never will we be the same.
As the shadow of despair,
Falls upon us,
We run into oblivion,
A one way door,
With no way back,
We'll scream and cry,
Yet it's to late,
We're stuck in this oblivion,
Called Life.

Life as oblivion...why do people place value on life and refute death at every turn? How is life better than death? I find myself wondering these things often. Despite my best contemplation and meditation, I often find myself doubling back on this same question in an endless circle.
My favorite part of this poem is
"We run into oblivion,
A one way door,
With no way back,"
I think this way myself quite often. I'm quite fond of this poem in no small part thanks to these lines. Overall, well done.
