I see the bright ray of light,
Is this the end of my fright?
After dwelling the dark for so long,
Is it time for me to embrace the bright?
Oh, look at that fool, so eager and blind,
Grabbing at hope that he will never find.
Isn't it fun to watch him at play,
Chasing a mirage that's fading away?
I see it getting nearer with each step,
But also fainter by every second.
"No," I say and increase my pace,
But why does it still continue to fade?
Look at him trying so hard,
Holding something which won't last,
Why does he tries so desperate?
When he knows it won't end well?
Why can't I ever reach closer,
Trying so hard yet a failure.
Was it all just a big hoax?
Is turning back the only crux?
Look, his will is finally shaken,
Like an insect with its wings broken.
Humans, so fragile and weak,
Achieving greatness, yet so meek.
I see another light emerge in the dark,
Yet I have no energy to travel afar,
Maybe I am not made for the light,
Maybe it's the curse of my life.
Seeking comfort in your solitude,
How can you call that a life?
After coming so far and wide,
How can you give up and stay quiet?
I have rested long enough, I sigh.
What if I can't get to see the light,
There's a whole universe in the ark,
Why can't I just explore the dark?
Oh look, he is up and moving again,
Not knowing there's nothing to gain.
It's amusing how hard he can cope,
Yet live with his faults and sins alone.
The curse may take away happiness,
But it can't take away my peace.
Even if this void is a haunting mess,
I just have to find my serene space.
