My Signature

My Existence's signature remains Agony As, The paths I walk on have already met With disdainful corrosion So much that my soul remains Confused! Pray, why would the Heavens Surprise me with their word When all they do in the end Is to contort it to fundamental pain? In my love story have I imprinted a seal That of Death, Bypassing even Life and its pleasures Pray, they only wish to contort My Agony into Torture! Why, it would seem that my karma Is aligned to the bad omens! My subconscious, pitying me Constantly fools me, Merely to allow me to keep on walking! But in the end, The surprise of Existing Is merely that we are to attach Ourselves to the dirt and grime Of everything As, the very essence of it all Wishes it that our souls Remain cuddled to pain! Of living have I had enough Wish I could free myself, Break off the chains, Crumble my heart to dust And ask That I feel not, Not anymore, Never again In any living form!
