Go

I see the eyes reflecting pain
Confused by the cruelty of world
You allow yourself to be tied by chains
believing your freedom is furled.

Why follow the glow of your scars?
Why hide in alienation?
Why swim in those painful memoirs
Abandoned hope for salvation.

You are standing still, suffering alone
struggling with indecision, all I hear is moan.
Vastness prevails outside your comfort zone
Realize that everyone’s future is unknown.

I cannot promise you anything lavish
Nor a life packed with ease and cheer
But if you stay, the ruins of your spirit will vanish
What remains is chaos, suffering, and fear.
