A Misericord's Elysium - Mariam Shiji

The past of mundane slumber,

I soak myself in a pitiful clot.

Shattered by the thorns of guilt,

Sinking to a chaotic stop.

I place a mark on the society

That drives me into the darkness.

I cover my auris externa

From the void cries of charlatans –

that make my being monotonous.

Standing at the pinnacle of choice in my mind palace –

I decided to take a leap,

Off I jump into freedom I wanted –

Down the hill , falling asleep.

If I want to be my lover,

Oh you,

please do me a favour.

Break that dark lapis cover –

By shattering my black mirror.

Should I love the hatred for myself –

And move forward,

Or hate the pretence love –

And move onward.

I don't know.

I will never know.

I do not want to know.

As for now I will forget,

The things that I regret–

And turn my faulty ashes into echoes.

To survive with my assets,

Find the meaning of life ahead–

Moving through the path that unfolds.

So don't rush , calm down

And give yourself a chance.

For the world has a lot to offer

With one single glance.

"Love yourself.

Your existence is valid."
