Final Assumption

What is your final destination?
I'm pretty sure you don't even know
Why is there a need to correct people in your assumption?
Is it because you can no more walk your assumed role?

They who can no longer complete their story
Why do they expect you to...
Not only to reason but to reprimand in theory
Did I not listen to the wiser fools?

It takes an age to command in a way
But causes we know doesn't mean we know a 'now'
It takes ages to stubbornly stay
A tide to a wave, a smile to the grave cannot unbound

My life is over when I think about love
But my achievements in wisdom brings my words
Are we all worthy enough to be worth?
Are we worthy enough for our words to one day be heard?

I'm absolutely sure I'm never to know
That faithful day whence claim my final destination
To have walked the path to numerous assumed roles
Will I one day understand my esteem assumption?
