The Value in Disguise
As life repeats itself,
Like a cycle, here we go again
It seems like forever, happening over and over
Like so many times before
Masses of building blocks
Strewn on the ground
Like always it’s nothing but to pick them up
As natural as the days have gone
Eating, studying, debts to pay
Washing clothes everlasting it might be
The wind and rain continually seasoning by
But deep sleep lies within my aspirations
Insignificant, shallow, chronic, the same
My entity withers to nothing
A little glimmer still lingers
In the grave my heart surrenders
And grasp that it is 'something'
You are my vessel of chains genuinely
When you see value in the 'no
I know that already.
I keep lying to myself.
I just wanted to be happy.
And i realized what i felt.
That my whole life went wrong.
I need a chance,
To redeem myself.
Let me find out,
Who i really am.
And there i learned,
The painful truth is better than a happy lie.
