A Life Once Lived
A life once lived holds no merit-
Behind the mask adorned in silence-
Able only to grin and bear it-
Daily growth and test of patience.
Woe to the different, the gentle spirit-
As a life once lived now holds no merit.
Pressure builds by ignorant souls-
A return of memories buried deep-
Searing pain manifests as hot coal-
Holding it in, emotions seep.
Woe to the different, the quiet spirit-
As a life once lived now holds no merit.
Direction lost and purpose unseen-
Into darkness blindly heading-
Searching hard while feeling unclean-
At the end, a crow sits quietly whispering.
"Woe to the different, the selfless spirit-
As a life once lived now holds no merit."
