Plans
My world needs be colder still
Where I may tremble, where I may shiver
No where in the world is new
Knocking on death’s door... my soul I might just deliver
I grew up learning to share my life
Yet wealth, love and humanities taught me to be selfish
We must only possess what we own to survive
We can only earn or borrow, we can only wish
What we obtain through and through
We never learn to let go of things that weren’t
We are afterall the teachers of us fools
The desires for needs that couldn’t
I need to learn to let go
I need to learn to be in content
I do not want to know what happens tomorrow
When death and I have already made plans
The world we build is not for survival
Simply a place for a temporary stay and then gone
I do not see life as precious or as vital
Simply... I know this one world I don’t belong
