I had six lives. Five, which were caged, One, which I raged. None as fulfilling as the last. Alas, I am here again. For the seventh isn’t my end, But the beginning. For vanity’s grip — Death’s grip has played my truth. To see, Or not to see. To flee, Or not to flee. The future waits for no one. In repetition, A new future leads. On a little ship, I read the waves that bound me. A scope in hand, An empty map to meed. With sheer will, And the growing determination is all I need.

To See Myself Gain
I had six lives. Five, which were caged, One, which I raged. None as fulfilling as the last. Alas, I am here again. For the seventh isn’t my end, But the beginning. For vanity’s grip — Death’s grip has played my truth. To see, Or not to see. To flee, Or not to flee. The future waits for no one. In repetition, A new future leads. On a little ship, I read the waves that bound me. A scope in hand, An empty map to meed. With sheer will, And the growing determination is all I need.
