Life

I stand before life

Stating all my deeds

The struggle and strife

That met all my needs,

So I stand before what

I had not known before

The outcome of the way

That I keep on using more,

I wake up everyday

With a new day to begin

But the memory still holds

Those things I have seen,

So it is utterly true

Life is but a burning star

That burns always before

You reach out for afar,

I pass through it unlikely

Trying to find what it means

And when I get a glimpse

I’m cracking at the seams,

No time has ever failed me

The moments count as true

And no one’s really counting

The time I’ve spent in due,

And all my life is the drive

For a thing that I ignore

It’s the furthermost goal

That anyone should adore,

Never I knew what it is

This life I live in fear

I assume it’s just like this

I can’t get out of here,

I am really stuck in a world

But I really don’t know why

I find myself in motion

But the motion is to die,

How come an infant child

Enjoys such blessed times

To be trampled under foot

At the call of the chimes?

And all that is left

Is a fainted memory

Of a person that’s faded

In a timeless history,

Full of bodies lying still

Emptied by the power

That to me shall do his will

At the ultimate hour,

It’s a merciless world

I get nothing from here

But the findings of my loss

And the basics to know fear...
