Poem 2: ‘Unaccomplished: For Now’ by Elya, Arena Academy

Suggested title for Leon’s poem: ‘Unaccomplished: For Now’ – final stanza by Elya, Arena Academy (CORE), Yr8

‘What is my mission?

What will I do?

Death is not the answer,

Revenge is not the answer,

What is the answer?

I have no life, yet I have a mission to accomplish,

I have no friends, no family, “we” is not in existence in my world,

Isolation has conquered my realm – the emptiness engulfs every breath,

Every street is empty like a ghost town,

I cannot bring life back into the dead.

I have not succeeded in my mission,

Humans are suffering – I am suffering.’
