Wandering
Wandering
Over time I lay awake
Wondering the purpose of it all
The struggle to survive
And the reason to go on
Why we are born
And why our choice is not engaged in such decisions
If life ever gets cumbersome; why can't we sleep away
There are questions
But few answers
I wanted to be happy all the time
But circumstances were not prevailing to ensure a continous foray of glad tidings
I wanted to dance
But my body was frail
I wanted to sing
And my voice were mute
What is the sweetest story you ever heard
That didn't shake or make you
I've wondered what genuine happiness is
But it seemed distant on a continous basis
How do I know my story will end well
But what if ending well was not our purpose
I've tried to gain understanding
I've tried to gain knowledge
Wisdom is profitable
But even the wise is met with his own fatalities
Please bring me a cup of wine
Distill it with vinegar and grape fruits
I know my path is hard
But I believe I'll smile in the end
