A Lonely Promise
Half of me promised to be chosen.
So that I am willing to sacrifice my happiness to find happiness for others.
By the voices that give me haunting premonitions.
So that I am always creating and never enjoying.
Half of me wants to be alone.
Because I want to cherish the possibilities that have already happened.
All of me has transcended, or so it seems.
So that I have welcomed the unraveling of myself!
All the secrets of the future are raging in my nightmares.
Even though I am in this cell-
Nothing will stop me from saving the world-
And the people who used to love me.
I am already alone.
Which in itself is restoring this world.
