Ballad

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on ballads. And for the past 2 weeks we have been writing our own ballads.

This is my ballad.

Enjoy.

In a world that was empty, where nothing else will exist,

I was born and for eons I wished,

That I would face the sweet release of death,

I prayed “Dear God, make me take my last breath.”

One day I could sense that someone else was near,

The soul of something that used to live here,

I really needed a friend so badly,

So I made it a vessel out of junk and metal gladly.

I motioned it towards the doll of junk,

I clapped for it to come over and it walked as if it were drunk,

As time went by it got used to moving around,

but I got weaker and weaker and I fell to the ground.

My stomach was empty and my lips were dry,

the pain got worse and I started to cry,

an ocean of tears ran down my cheek,

the pain grew stronger I had reached my peak.

I said goodbye,

I don’t know why,

My eyes closed and never opened again,

And that day I left my only friend.
