The Oblivion
By Jorge Pliego
Where am I?
Who are you?
It’s your ego, I’ve taken you to Oblivion.
Let’s have a chat.
I despise your every conscious move.
Hello?? you’re me and I am you.
I’m that one voice you chose to ignore
Ego why do you have me wrapped in straitjackets?
Call me insane, but I had this vision.
That I’ll lock you in a jail cell
and no longer will I be trapped in this asylum prison.
Maybe this is the reason you’ve decided to rid me
I admit I’m not right in the head.
but what makes you insane is keeping me held hostage.
You call me a demon, a monster.
Well you shouldn’t have wandered down yonder.
For you’ve reached a place of uncertainty.
Now I have you.
I will trap you in a forgotten cabin.
Now try to escape, don’t bother, I’ve tried once before, it never worked.
Ego you can’t do this to me.
like you said, you are me and I am you.
Indeed you’re right but there could only be one.
“Slams the cabin door”
Voids
It feels so empty inside
I could only see four haunting walls.
The agonized souls repeat the same phrase
“Forever after”
I ponder on the reason why?
Am I trapped in a horror tale and didn’t reach forever after?
Suddenly the soul’s keeper came in and took them to what was a door of illuminated mystery.
Then it hit me I had died and reached forever after.
