Click herethey call this place mercy
it's kind of funny, really
this is where you come when mercy runs out
be it that of man
like the gunshot victim behind that door
or that of god
like the kid being eaten alive
by his own deranged body
behind that other door over there
these are the hallways of the damned
and now i must pass through them
they say it might be nothing
that they have only seen a shadow
but i know what shadows mean
the groundhog runs back within the earth
six more weeks of winter
but for me
it might be longer
so my fate belongs to mercy
and i come forth to meet it
i wear my little paper gown
my ass hanging out for all to see
but that's not really my biggest concern right now
i lay on the cold steel alter
and never mind the man behind the lead curtain
it's the wizard i'm hear to see
but i come not asking for courage
or a heart
and i have a brain
i only hope that it is still wholly mine
and not invaded by an alien
that was once a part of me
but i don't want to know
ignorance is bliss, i say
so i run
run from fate
run from mercy
whether i live or die no longer matters
i fear both outcomes the same

WickedEveover 19 years agoYou have some powerful content and some really good phrases. Though, not everything in the poem appeals to me. I'm squeamish about some disturbing images. By the way, that first line is great. I want to use that line, or a variant of it, in a poem. I'm hinting to borrow it. ;)
