A pattern
Clinging to my side
I am a nothing
A no one
As it were
I shall come to be
Nobody
Such a dry tone
Such a flat verse
Miles upon miles
Of grass and shrubs
Depressing plains
Of absolute nothing
Should I dodge this arrow
Or take it at will
Ending this horrid life
Before it truly begins
Before my knees snap
Under my weight
Before the wind
Takes me away
Before my thoughts wander
Too far off track
I will make sure
To make my mark on this earth
No matter what it takes
Old and grey
I will remain
and if I must
I will take the violent course
For I will be remembered
I swear it.
