Strange Debris of Life

Find no sanctuary here…

Prometheus Design

poem by Quinn Zhael (Firebird)

When Life becomes an enemy
It ceases to annoy me,
for peace I cannot tolerate
and silence will obliterate my
Self.

Now tell me, why do I persist
in mindless dreams that don’t exist?
I waver at the brink of doom,
while sheltered safely in my room up
Stairs.

I find no sanctuary here,
the furtive night is ever near
I’ve courted Death too ardently,
now he’ll have naught to do with me to
Day.

In discontent I search the sky
I want to laugh, but still I cry,
exhausted by futility,
alone amidst the strange debris of
Life.
