Overdose

Je’free

Tonight,
it seems I have lost my way
in an unfathomable deep forest,
hearing overhead noises,
and a deafening chorus of crickets

As tea leaves exuded
their last flavors onto
my hot cup of water,
I reflect on failed suicides;
hoping this time,
I will not reach the 24th hour

All shall be renewed in grave -
a quarantine from affliction,
without stigma of isolation;
Maybe, the critiques of Heaven
will not have me exiled

But, what an excuse weak as
a surrender without a fight!
Where is my inner hero,
my potential for legacy,
who shall turn tears into smiles,
downfall into glory
under a new sun,
in a worthwhile world?
