The skies are turning grey,
Nobody has any words to say,
I don’t know how long this misery will last,
Bit there has to be a way to make it pass.

How evil can it possibly be?
I am obviously blind, for I did not see
The sign right above my head
‘Misery lives,’ the dreadful thing read.

What a stupid test I’m being put through
And there’s not a single thing I can do!
“ death is your new best friend,” I was told-
Why is there nothing to hold?

The minutes tick by,
Seconds feeling like hours!
They think this is fine?
The tormentors resemble creepy towers!

I will not last through this,
My name has been added to the list,
My death is soon,
And there’s nothing I can do!

Has anyone ever survived this place?
People all around, resembling a maze!
This is it, there’s no way out.
I’m about to find what this is all about.

The tormentors want a battle!
I gulp and step up, they all cackle.
“ should you win, you would be free,”
I smile, and they glare at me.

“ I will take a victory!” I shout
Others look around, wondering what I speak about.
Though the tormentors laugh and sneer,
What I must do is blatantly clear.

Fifty deadful minutes, and we are through.
I smile at my tormentors, what are they to do?
I have won, just as I said.
But yet, their expressions say I am still dead.

“ no. I’ve won. Your men lay there! I have won!”
Their leader smiles wickedly as he pulls free a gun.
A scream from all! Though mine is cut short…
I am dead- long before I can abort.
