IMITATE
Reanimate your battered body –
your coffin does not await
for a blossoming soul, denied refuge
in an elder spirits’ dwelling.
Dedicate days for your mind –
you deserve time to redirect thoughts
that exorcize your happiness and finally
reflect on gifted aptitudes.
Agitate your sinister demons –
for necromantic rituals cannot invigorate
temptations suppressed by mortal laughter
and sarcastic banter.
Hydrate your parched heart –
hope is never truly lost. Without its caretaker,
who will exterminate parasites that feast
on your cultivated essence?
Decorate scars that define you –
bruises will trace to past battles, for they
have refined your character and embraced
your resilience in war.
Consecrate yourself a God –
your ethereal realm, mischievous thoughts
serve you for as long as your imperial army
crowns a confident ruler.
Imitate the idols you envision –
though your imperfections inhibit
your potential, you can still achieve
greatness and fantasize what
you wish to be.
