For We Wanderers

To where we go
No one knows
Exactly where we go
I don’t know

The hope
That floats 
The areas
Sensitively 
Remote
When life
Is simply 
Revoked

Belief 
It’s an honorable mention
But it kills a number far greater
That it helps survive 
With in the tension
You question your state of being
You wonder why you’re alive
And who knows if your body goes anywhere
Besides in that box, soundly found
Beneath the dirt 
This is what happens 
When we misinterpret the hurt
Out of despair in hopes of relief
We form a belief

To where we go
No one really knows
Exactly where we go
I don’t know
