The Fear of Disintegration [Inspired by Disintegration by Aleta Rossi-Steward]
I sit alone in this box, surrounded by a deafening silence.
Isolated by these six walls enclosing me.
They left me, leaving nothing but a dull feather behind.
I sit alone in this box, blankly staring at the feather.
A distant memory is all that's left behind–
questioning why I was forgotten
I want to escape, but I just slouch deeper.
I sit alone in this box, wishing I could fly away.
My eyes shut to drown out the emptiness.
In my dream, the thought of death overwhelms me.
I sit alone in this box, petrified of my foreboding future.
A luminous light piers through–
I try to flap my wings and escape.
But I dont move, for I am disintegrating.
