Immortality
Over so many years
Sprang so many fears
Creating so many tears
And pain to surpass my peers
Growing an aching burn
For a desire to yearn
Which is overhead
Yet over my grasp, broken once I learn
Captured in my soul, with my mind's eye
Where my dreams dwell, sprouting high
Alluding to a time not unforeseen, hidden in the sky
Fortune favors the brave, don't be shy
The prints from my past mistakes left
Marking their trace, having carved depth
Between the walls of my spirit in my breast
Nestled where my dearest secrets are kept
Eternal echoes haunting my mind
Each step I take, looking for happiness to find
Missing out on now, feeling behind
Driving the force to take on the grind
From this day, never forget my word
A slit in the abyss of forever to be hear
