Unkillable
By: Shuri
🪶
Once upon a time
They gave me immortality
Was it a blessing, a curse?
Was it a punishment for my immorality?
🪶
Pain that doesn't bleed surrounds me
Would rather suffer from the bleed
Close my eyes forever, peacefully
Would rather just get cold feet
🪶
Gifted and genius, they said
Expected to climb higher than my mountain
Yet most climbers ended up dead
Now I'm beaten up and fallen
🪶
Pressure to climb higher
Expected to dive deeper
And bring back treasure that will never be mine
Only got suffering from an unseen force
🪶
Yet I'm still un-killable
Still walking on the Earth
I wish I was invisible
Waiting to permanently disappear
🪶
Still alive in this Earth
While my loved ones fade before me
Leaving me with this inescapable curse
Does this immortality make me happy?
🪶
