A Message Not Received Spoken word, by iO Usagi.
Entertainment
Introduction
In a world shrouded in silence, a message remains unreceived, encapsulated in the evocative sounds of fog horns and the symphony of crickets. The atmosphere thick with tension, each moment feels magnified, where even the delicate drop of a pin resonates. The speaker finds solace in rereading their last message repeatedly, an attempt to uncover any flaws or miscommunications that may have led to this emotional impasse.
Identifying themselves as a high-flying communist flag without the quintessential hammer and sickle, the speaker expresses a sense of disconnect, symbolized by a big red flag that flutters, voicing thoughts to an empty audience. With a sense of desperation, they ponder the weeks spent waiting, caught in the labyrinth of uncertainty regarding their perceived wrongdoings. Questions swirl through their mind: "Am I a fool for listening to my heart?" This inner turmoil only deepens as they obsessively check for notifications, seeking validation or clarity.
As they wander through the town, the stark reality of dead ends and lost opportunities becomes evident. Each stroll reveals more forks in the road, amplifying their feelings of isolation. They sit in silence, anxiously anticipating an alert that might provide answers. The echoes of chanting monks drift from distant Tibet, yet enlightenment feels elusive. The longing is palpable as the speaker imagines hearing the ocean's waves, despite being confined within a landlocked existence. As time ticks away, they remain ensnared in a cycle of waiting, highlighting the emotional weight of uncommunicated feelings and unresolved connections.
