waiting for the apocalypse
#WritcoPoemPrompt42
Write a poem focusing on a single memory, or describe what you might imagine the typical grandmother’s kitchen to be like.

I was scared, lost my mind
is the world ending, am I dying?
what if it does, who knows when...
and the sky starts falling, what then?

I shivered, i cried, my heart beating fast.
I like this life, dnt want it to last...
and there came in my mom, my angel
dont worry honey, u gonna get well.

but mom, what if we all die...
I couldnt speak, I started to cry.
there's so much I havent done
slept on the moon and flies through the sun...

i wanna live forever, I dnt wanna die
can we take a plane, and stay up high?
am there with u, no matter what my baby
my mom said,wrapping herself around me.

we gonna be just fine, dad, sister u and I.
we gonna be together, even after we die.
we are a family and we never gonna leave u alone...
and said the same, my dad on the phone.

I remember that night, I didnt sleep..
I stood on the balcony all through the night...
waiting for the tsunami...coz it might..
arrive anytime crashing through the horizon...
that was scary, but a weird sort of fun.

I will never forget that night, I waited for the apocalypse...
it never arrived...
I got a family, I got love am strong...
i have lived so much, i was wrong.

Ever night so on, I sleep in peace...
cant keep waiting on the balcony forever.
life is like a long morning walk in the winter breeze...
the more u live the better.

life won't, but death can wait..
live the longest,death never gets late...
and love the people who love you...
for life is awesome and love is true.
