Please Don't Let Me Die by liznificent(f): 3:21pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Perhaps it’s kinder to live with no knowledge And be content in the cage Than to know it all And not pour it all It would be harsh to have it bustling And neglect it without hustling. More harsher to grow comfortable in the blankets of doubts And ignore that tug at heart. More harhser to ONLY TRY to get it out all right When all it actually needed was a big fight It would be tragic if this gift of greatness turn burden And I live each day burdened Weigh down, mightily handicapped by the harsh reality Unable to cast it all off my shoulders From me, greatness evaporating uncontrollably Till the day I finally fall. Please don’t let me die With this great gift of thy Please don’t let me die; an unfulfilled dream Washed away from the shore of this realm Don’t let me die, the same as I came Rather let me depart with gain It would surely be kinder to go back exhausted; all out and empty Than back, a luggage full of untapped greatness; futility Much kinder that eyes should close and blood stiffen with light of fulfillment at heart And smile on lips for dues duly paid And lines of square neatly met So let me rather be a burnt offering; Redemption to the world suffering Smile, joy and pleasure to hearts Fulfillment and inspiration to generations unborn The torch bearer of darken souls Rose to bring light to the farthest poles Please don’t let me die, a victim of time Whose great flight is on high Please don’t let me die, a casualty Cut down in the war between dreams and reality Don’t let me die, the same as I came Rather let me depart with gain 3 Likes 2 Shares |
