Legacy

Alone have you come here Alone shall you go Can you just leave behind Your fragile ego? Can't you let go your Envy and pride Moments of Shame and hatred, Moments you cried Is it too hard to tame bursts of anger Feelings of sorrow and pain that quietly grow stronger. The melancholic days feel just like quicksand The more you ignore it, the more you withstand. If they are to be disowned, Why did you gather these? Let them blow past you Like the cool winter breeze. Dance to the waves of joy, And sing a happy tune. A wreath of happiness, with pleasure shall be sewn. Sow the seeds of love of delight and of ecstasy Your deeds of benevolence shall be 'membered as your legacy.
