Lost It
Despise how hard you try, my empty soul
Will not be filled with ancient decaying lore
I refuse to crave anyone’s forgiveness
I reject outdated trivial ideals
My inner rhythm guides my apprehensive steps
I can find my nirvana and understand
Grow and learn, fall and accept defeat
I am much too brave to be threaten to believe
Obsequious sheep and coercive benevolence
I am no longer part of you
Even so I keep my head held high and fight
I am able to make mistakes
Without fearing the implausible consequence
I accept a benign absolute emptiness above
I cannot be sedated by hollow hopes and pernicious promises
I dare to think, I strive to disbelieve
The light I seek, the energy I crave
The meaning for more, the desire for completeness
Comes not from above but from inside
So I will close my young eyes, open my daring heart
And make the best of the palpable reality
Until eternal slumber engulfs my final breath
