obviate media.

I wrote this in Creative Writing my senior year of high school. I'd largely forgotten about it until Matt told me had kept a copy of it. It was part of some exercise in focusing in on one particular moment.. One fluid motion or something like that. I don't remember the title. Anyways. After reading it two years after the fact, I realize it's garbage, but see if you can figure out what I'm talking about.

I tend to write pretty lighthearted poems, so don't think too hard.

The Beginning of the End

my eyes open up
like they've never been used before
darkness blankets the room
as a heavy sigh escapes me

images come back into focus
the buzzsaw cuts through my ears
sounding the death knell
of my colorful dreams

the sound cuts through the air
like a siren in a storm
or a monster in the dark
with an angry roar

in defiance of the beast
i bring my hand down
smothering it
silencing its screams
