Prosaic Acceptation

Why hello, slightly uncomfortable kid.
As you know, I'm death, just doing what I always do.
And you could run, just like you always did,
but I'm not here for a chase, I've been called by you.

What was it, sad one? Love? Depression? Failure?
Or have you recently seen one of my pieces?
Did it inspire you so much you seeked for the tailor?
And what is this silence in you that never ceases?

But I can read the mind you think you've lost,
and look deep inside the soul you think you've sold.
At the moment your eyes opened, you paid the heaviest cost.
Once you see nothing is real, you've got nothing to hold.

You learned love is an ilusion, and if it exists, it's no good,
that it's overrated, due to some misconcepted society definition.
And that everyone fears me, but you don't think they should,
in this insane cycle, the breaker is as important as the ignition.

You were fighting their phoniness, and, honestly, winning!
But soon you reached the nullity of the thrill.
Ran far through life, but found out there was no meaning.
They said you could make your own; You no longer had such will.

I see it, shallow-eyed kid, your conclusions are fair.
Given your thoughts, not even I would have any motivation.
What is that? Are you dropping the knife? Oh, now you care?
No, you couldn't. I see, you've reached acceptation.

Finally found out that you don't need a reason to go on.
That's a concept of the weak, who could never open their eyes.
Look at past, present and future, all you could ever become.
Will you lose it all, just because everything dies?

Go beyond the sun that is burning in shame,
from the life it makes you see everyday.
When you accept death, life is just a game.
Change into everything, let nothing get in your way.

But I digress, you called me when you lost your sight,
and realized none of your friends nor dreams were real.
But you've accepted me, and life as well, with such might,
that, now, even I see myself forced to kneel.

Goodbye, diamond-eyed kid, I won't persist.
You'll live now, but one day I'm coming for you.
Just try not to call me anymore, I insist,
because even my mind twitches just by looking at you.
