Chapter 8 - end of the world

The world seems to be coming to an end

But I'm right here

Just like I've always been

My head in the clouds, my life in a box

Dreams I only ever said out loud

Places I only saw in a frame

People I only imagined

Things I still say I'll do tomorrow

Maybe the world would remember a spec of dust more than it would ever remember me

Maybe my friends would call say

"quiet"

If they were asked the reason they liked me

God saw his existing creation and thought it needed me

But I only ever watched, wondering what I was supposed to solve

I kept quiet, speaking thoughts that never came out loud

I desired, but the only action I made was wanting more

I want to hear the words at my funeral but everyone will be screaming for their own lives

I want to see the rainbows but I watch the stormy rains to sleep

I want to feel the warmth, but the cold serves me better even if it makes me sick

Thoughts live thoughts

I rewind moments

God gives free will

I stay still

Everybody knows it's ending,

But they live through the thoughts to find what will truly matters

I'm still here like I've always been,

watching the world that ended the moment I was born.
