Denial

By AVB

Am I deaf, can’t hear a thing

Mute sound wave it brings

All I hear is myself

A murmur, not a hush from a teff

Nor speak, I cannot do

Tied by words I used to

Can’t say or simply express

My medium became suddenly meaningless

A quickened darkness

I felt in all my senses

All of a sudden, blankness filled my mind

Destroyed everything bind

My body started trembling

Then after a while...nothing

Numbness all around

In a state of shock, at once astound

Death may have visited

But not exactly as expected

In taking me all completely

He played with mediocrity

Wrong in strategy

Leaving me well and lively

My brain still reasons

Will survive with less function

Now I may be disabled

But still, I have the knowledge

I may be wrongfully labelled

This fight for life, though temporary, I pledge

Making hay as the sun shine

Doing things as long as they’re fine

Smelling the flowers as I have told

Enjoy life, cherish the gold...
