The End

The chapter closes and I'm on fire

My chest a mess, with a strain in my voice and shaky hands

The end is near and I'm scared

I can't see the finish line 'cause I'm stuck with my head in a screen,

the bright lights sting my eyes

Shadows of what once was fade in and out as I squint into the sun

The finale calls my name and I'm lost

What came before?

What comes next?

Does it matter? When the world is crumbling before my very eyes...

The end of everything, the beginning of nothing

The end of surviving, the beginning of living
