One More Day

You walk the corridors with fear in your eyes and dread in your step. The Reapers can't help but follow you to your classes, holding their sythe in hand waiting patiently. It's strange to think that they are the ones who you rely on, they have now become your friend because lord only knows no living thing will ever want to hang around. Every little thing is now one step closer to those creatures and every little thing is a close encounter with your density. Only when you remember that you must wait one day longer to walk into those seemingly loving arms will you go back to the state your in. One day longer is one day wasted trying to cry out for help. Finally when one day someone hears you, you'll finally think you will see the light. Yet months have passed and you wait one more day till you give up knowing they will never come back. But still, the days tick by and the space between you and the dark light slowly follows. You never really minded it, after all, they stuck by you when no one else did. You wait one more day. As your eyes flutter open you can't help but notice the reapers are gone. You force your self out of bed just as you do every day. This time it’s harder though. You can't see anything but pitch black pain everywhere. You just can't help but think, they only left because death isn't something you deserve. Each day can be described as nothing more than a close encounter with death only this time, death can't be with you for one more day.
