Everything will be in vain
How am I supposed to know?
That an albatross can go
Fly high trough the blue skies,
Yet it can't escape its own demise.
****.
How am I supposed to feel?
When I have to go through this ordeal,
Like the men of yesterday
Knowing that I will be away someday.
****.
How am I supposed to continue?
When I have no peddles in my canoe
Must I go with the current?
Or is my drowning death imminent?
****.
How am I supposed to leave?
Must I yield and disbelieve
In my own soul, to deceive
All the things that I've achieved?
****.
Am I supposed to fuel this body
With lies to carry on?
Am I supposed to keep steady
And escape later on?
Am I supposed to sacrifice?
Endure the pain?
Or to simply live and turn a blind eye
That everything will
be in vain.
****.
This is my first draft, I'll continue to improve it. So your suggestions, feedback and critique are very welcome!
