Hells Gate
Half way to wisdom
half way to hell
been traveling so long
can't really tell.
Sometimes in front,
sometimes behind,
knowing that wisdom
is a state in my mine!
I wake every morning
put my mask on.
forgetting my wisdom
whats really wrong?
What am I doing here?
do not really know?
Don't have to stay
I could “just go”?
But the hell of it is!
I don't really care.
life's been joy, laugther,
dreams,love....despair,
“life's mental breath”!
Makes me wait,
half way to wisdom,
just outside.... hells gate!
