The Mantra of a Shell (Poem)
The Mantra of a Shell
By J.C. Solis
I will begin to live my life as a shell
And so I will no longer remain as me
I don’t know if I can escape my own hell
I do not know, again, if I’ll ever be glee
No more sadness, which can be felt in the air
No more strength, because now, I no longer care
No more love, something which I cannot feel
No more hate, what makes this cruel world so real
No more tears, for I am done with my cries
No more sorrow, for even despair is a lie
No more pain, the thing that reminds me of this life
No more healing, because, I cannot bear this strife
No more hope, for that is a lie I can’t carry
No more helplessness, I have no more to bury
No more joy, for me, that is now truly gone
No more life, as I wonder how all has gone wrong
I resign all these feelings from life and this earth
I neither bless nor curse the day of my birth
I resign because, now, I can no longer feel
I do not even know if my life is still real
I just wish, for now, that
