Ashes

We all drift away at one point in our life We all gottah deal with pointless strife We all slip and fall on that jagged knife We crumble away... we collapse unto the ground with dismay We decay away... we abide in the wind and we sway... We break down...we droop like branches We smother the daylight with a death gown...we shed like ashes We all sift out our wishes once in a lifetime We all gottah fulfill our goals in life before bedtime We all elapse and flourish around springtime We hasten away…we all crush into smithereens and grime Like ashes, we decay... Until the agony dies away Until the night blooms into day!
