See

What does one truly see?

When their eyes fall upon another’s soul?

Will they see the deeds of old?

Or will they see of what is to be?

One may never know,

Until the day they stand before Mortuus’s throne.

Even then it might be a mystery,

On how to solve life’s misery.

I can see what lies beyond the obvious.

More than what a death shriller allows.

But what is it that I truly see?

Every day with the impossibility?

The thing that I see,

Is the last guess to be.

For it is the infinite light,

The only which can end this blight.

What am I?

Who am I to you?

That is always the question.

Always asking, always wondering,

About what others think of me.

Am I just a child to you?

The point of which that always escapes me?

That I will, for now and always, need help?

Forever lost in ignorance and adolescence.

Or am I a man to you?

Where I am convinced that the world is against me?

And strive for victory, confident I will win for another day?

Dwelling in my sorrowful ego.

Am I a good man to you?

Always living up to the flimsy moral code?

Forsaken myself to the ages for the rest of man?

For eternity walking the small stepping stones of arrogance.

Or am I an evil man to you?

Never thinking ahead for the sake of anyone else?

Willing to use anyone to achieve my own goals?

Bathing in my everlasting sin.

Maybe I am neither of these?

Considerate to both myself and others.

Focusing my attention to the pains of others and myself.

Drinking from the two fountains of wisdom and inner-strength.

Man or Beast

Am I not but a man?

A man of thoughts and opinions?

Or a man with the right to expand
