_Who am I,_ But the meaningless purpose, set out To echoes of their tears— dancing their fires upon each tongue. _Am I wrong wanting not, to be as equal to parentages?_ What does it mean to be free; to be not Set to be, or set free in a world, only not to be Anything it recognizes— for the freer person in this world, are only but the dead. _So must I, sacrifice my life, to then feel alive?_ My time each day, is all amalgamation of Escapeless breath. Oh, isn’t it such a waste to Be young; for the subtle interest of being ill trained By the perception of the Owed? For our youth is truly a debt to those who train us to be better— But it’s a lesson not meant to be free, for when you meet their age, you like them, feel something is owed. _“Oh, where is the time, I had invested in you, The wisdom and guidance my hand laid upon your head? For from the full of my flesh, I raised you up, From being a fool. I had decided your purpose from what I had seen fit,”_ Enough then said; to ask of you again, _who am I, who am I then?_
