Life is so weird

One day, as you wake up 

You’re washing your face

Adding all that makes you happy

To see yourself.

You put on that watch

That you bought 

Paying a part of your life

Away from friends and family.

But the next moment,

Something totally unexpected arrives

Slowly gripping you 

As you watch it helplessly 

As if a part of you has already given up

Or devoted to what comes next.

With an immortal blink of an eye

You fall asleep, 

And so does your world.

But the world still watches you,

As you lie with your eyes wide open

As if they seek all the light of the world

The jaw broken from its joint

Teeth lying on the ground

And blood pouring out,

As if it always waited 

For that freedom—to flow.

Your hand—twisted to the side

That it could never move towards

Throughout your life.

And on that hand, on your wrist

Through the broken glass

Of your watch,

The time still ticks

Perhaps to let the world know 

Of the weirdness of itself and life

To remind you, to live

Until it’s offered to you—life.
