Life or Me

The struggle real while inside I search myself 
Looking find peace among my depths darkness feeds 
Pain in life, which side do you choose 
That I am me, not of world I hunger 
For death is certain the short coming dream 
Fight for life or right to live free 
Created a constituted law to existence being 
Purpose which we live our heart's given 
Was it love our ambition once derived the soul 
Before of age, how I long passing winds 
Once youth of a nation the minutes tick away 
Future fades my eyes yet I feel I fail 

Humanity uncharted, unchanged biblically tales are told 
We are not free, even ourselves denials truth 
Living shoes of another journeyer steps 
Like world, ancestors buried in vain misery 
Only joy, peace they sleep loves emotion 
To be with one is to be alone deeply felt 
I reach the cold breaths warmth as if alive 
A wolf's howl, domination in unity survival instinct 
I am lone wolf, the bear I eat before dawning 
My strength, the man I change be not my demise but life I carry 
Realistic, reality to truth is change in yourself quietness waits
