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.
