Poor man, Chained to his own memories. Stand on your feet, Only to tumble down violently, Why do you keep torturing yourself?
Poor man, Resolving a lost cause. Tell you've found the missing piece, Only to find it not to be the one. Why do you run in circles?
Poor man, Sulking in his misfortune. Traversing a ruined world. Walking in wounded feet. Why do you persist?
Poor man, Contemplating impossibility. Blood dripping from his wounds; Wounds to him, unbeknownst; Why do you continue? . . . . . . . . . I am never poor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Poor not am I. Chained, but not imprisoned. Tumble down, yes. Only to stand taller than before. I make myself stronger.
Poor not am I. Resolving a lost cause I may be, Igniting a spark of possibility. Strive to find the missing piece. I run in circles but not aimlessly.
Poor not am I. Traversing ruins, I may do, Wounded may be my feet; I seek of the treasure incomparable to words; I persist as I'd never give up.
Poor not am I. My contemplation will be fulfilled. My wounds will be tended; I continue this fate I venture; I am not at end, but at beginning.
