Why Me

He walks towards me
but I see nothing.
Darkness in the air...
Like a shadow at night..
He wails aloud but
I hear nothing…

Trying too hard to survive,
did I miss something on the way?
I strain my eyes,
it still does look very grey…

I then hear a distant cry…
Only to realize it's somewhere deep within…
I touch my chest…
but I feel nothing…

Have we too become gods…
With hearts of stone…
All this suffering…
How do we still move on!

As life drags me along…
I know no purpose..
I seek for answers…
Why me?

Staring in the eyes of death..
Why do they look so familiar?
I suddenly hear those wails again..
And the footsteps of the same "he"..
Is it just because,
this time its me?

I struggle to break free...
Has life finally caught up with me...
In this moment of desperation..
Images of my past flash by..
Knowing very well...
Life gives no second chances...
I bid good bye...
