I am temporary.


I am a fleeting illusion and one day I will be gone;
So enjoy me while you can, because I am temporary.
If you like what I do then I have been heard by someone.
I regret nothing!  I am dumb.  I am full of empathy.


Learn from your mistakes; do not keep making them.
Give up or try harder, time is of no consequence.
The light fades away and we all become grey,
In the end my friend; so savour the taste.


I am just one messenger, in a land of screaming voices.
All the choices we make only bring us more choices.
A violent heart is lonely, truly;
A loving heart is happy, inside empathy.
Any fool with a tool can try to speak,
But I shall only listen to things that interest me.


A stranger in this land, I am becoming.
Forget about me, I am heading for my day of reckoning
And I think in the end, my life will have counted for something.
I wish I could be with you, but time is not our friend;
Goodbye to the good times, I hope we have shared.
