I was ******
As I slammed the door through the darkness
Unbound by the bounties of karma
Like the blind man,
I couldn't see what was in front of me all along
Fate played these tricks on me.
The only thing guiding me on this excursion
Are the chains bounded to you
Captain oh captain
The one who walks besides me
On this road of darkness
Holding a transparent torch
It sparks no imagination
Yet these chains feel a little lighter
I feel as if my shadow’s heart
Is picking up the slack
Left from these chains
I cannot continue longer
My feet trips on the blood
Scooched between my toes
Yet you
Captain
Marched
I look at the reflection on the floor for guidance
And I see stars raining out whispers of hope
No I cry
Captain oh captain
lead me away from the darkness
I won't back down
I will be a blind man.
