Last Second Thoughts

This started off as an attempt to make something in an interesting rhyme scheme, but I started moving words around when it was just starting out and saw a way to keep the rhyme scheme I found and make the whole thing mostly coherent and not just an exercise in rhyming. The title might change, for now it is just the pun of last second and second thoughts that I slapped on.

You lie there staring solely at the floor,

You thought that life was meaningful before.

The persistent wave of overwhelming difference

Pours in past the windows and floods through the front door.

With nothing left for which to live or die,

You slowly bow your head and start to cry.

Waiting for the rising of the tide

To take away what's left of you, and leave you nothing more.

All the things you fought for were untrue,

Fairytales became your point of view.

When reality lay right there in your sight

You simply passed it by, you were too caught up in the lie.

And what exactly did you think you'd gain?

Respect because you were so very vain?

Acquitted for you were found not quite sane?

Or did you just not want to bother to think of something new?

You spent your whole life waiting for your death,

But now that it's impending you're having some regrets.

Was it right for you to not think for yourself?

Too late to wonder now, you've just taken your last breath.
