Skull

I am really old to the point where
just one simple touch will break me.
I am unable to do anything,
so I wait until my end comes.

All alone in this room, I stare
endlessly outside my window.
I wait, in hope that someone will notice me,
and help me become something I can’t become by myself.

I have lost all presence in this world,
no more opportunity to do anything.
The only thing I am now are the remains of
the once living, but other than that,
I am nothing.

Everyday I see the sun set and rise,
I count the infinite amount of footsteps
outside my eternal prison.
I just wish I can be something,
just one more time is all I ask for.


The author's comments:

I saw a picture of a skull, and I thought about the feelings it had because it looked really old and lonely, just being there on the table all by itself, so I wrote about it. I hope people will understand the hardships of being unable to do anything just like the skull, but there are other things or people who also cannot do anything because something prevents them from doing what they want to do. By using the perspective of the skull, I hope to show people the struggles that others face.
