Out of Breath

Nafis Light

I have come too close to the flame,
The heat is too much for me to even remember my name;
I do not know how much longer I could stay sane.

 

That is it...I have to run!
This is nowhere near what you guys call 'fun'!
I am just holding a toy gun!

 

Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!
If only I could actually fly,
Come on people...Why?! Why?! Why?!

 

I am...running out of breath!
At least...before death,
I laugh...as that is my only wealth.

 

----

With Laughter,
J44

  • Comment from author about the poem: That's sort of the thing for today here. It's fiction, but hey...at least the ending is with laughter, and even 'Laughter' can be considered as wealth.

    The best kind of wealth, laughter with a simple your face.

    I could see the picture of your running with a toy gun, laughing it was only fill with water

    Great work

      I just woke up and read your comment.
      It's about 6:06 a.m. here.
      You made my day.
