The Immortal Reject – A Divine Comedy [Original] | 2 November 2021

Infinity is an unfathomable void
that holds everything you can imagine,
everything you can’t imagine,
and yet there is even more.

But to journey there searching
for anything is a fool’s errand.
You seek the truth hidden in the dark?
But are you ready for the abyss to seek you?

Darkness opens like eyes before you;
A shapeless structure materializes
An alter of abyss, scales, and a feather.
Time to deal with my Devils.

“What do you want?”
Stupid question. It’s always the same.
Just enough to balance the scales.
So I hand myself over to the abyss.

I step in; scales unimpressed.
One foot used to be enough when my life was gold.
How quickly it turns into pyrite when acting the fool.
That’s what happens when you get in too deep.

I used to be afraid of suffocating on the darkness,
Deeper and deeper and deeper I go;
But now I can only breath when I feel it in my lungs.
Deeper and deeper and deeper I go;

One more step and my head’s under water.
Am I really this worthless?
I guess I’m not losing much at least.
Maybe I’m worth more on the other side.

Suddenly a hand pulls me back.
Divine intervention.
God himself fighting for my life?
But why would he try so hard for me?

Born anew, it took me time to realize.
The devil never wanted my life for himself.
He wanted to gift God a new problem.
Like a burned out white elephant.

But God’s infinite patience ran out on me.
I didn’t meet the conditions for his unconditional love.
Unwanted by both; a joke for the divines to tell.
I guess I’m immortal since not even death wants me.
