River Styx
Ghosts giving up on rolling gurneys
Play quite the sadistic melody
Wounds weep like the souls dying to live
I tread through the river
Of their linoleum tears and irrational fears
That is the house of ailment, of affliction.
Even as their pain surpasses mine,
And their circumstances reek of doom,
My temper dictates that
They don't deserve to weep as I do.
I hate my selfish eye rolls
That accompany this river's steady rise.
Because It's not until I reach the room of my father
That I reach the river's inescapable mouth,
And tumble into an unforgiving ocean.
