Where Did I Come From
Quote: Where did I come from, and where will I go when I die? maybe all this time
that's all I wanted, the freedom to find out.
In the peace of silence comes a splinter of happiness,
So I may wander the wonder's path, toying and tinkering,
Yet society has stuck me on this rippled rout,
And every step fills me more with doubt.
My emptiness comes out and fills the atmosphere,
As I'm left alone to stumble to the mirror,
Seeing the consuming melancholy in my chest is the only reminder that I'm still alive.
My limits confound me in chains yet all I have is a smile.
Like a patient with a small smirk cannot cry a tear for it would dry his body weak to the
cancer.
Now I'm feeling the emotion I can't speak to the shadow stuck alongside me, it alone
has the answer.
