Tunneling

By Halocination

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My eyes are the tunnels that lead to my grave.Between the blink that lets you in, and the thoughts and dreams IprayYou'll see my smiles, hear my sighs, dry my tears, and rise each dayTo understand that my underlying motive is to accomplish whatever ismost necessary at this and every given moment, until I'm buried,I will keep my destination, though out of reach, within sight.I will die on my feet before I live on my knees.I'm not going alive; for what I believe I will fight.I accept this journey of life through deserts of sand or forests of treesI don't care about my name going down in history;I just want to find my own route that I can pave.I can't help that my footprints lead to places that I've already beenBut I can ensure that all who follow see the signs and learn what Inow know.I refuse to regret, I promise to forgive, and always forget.I may not live long enough, but I refuse to not live long enough to make a differenceLook into my eyes and see the tunnels that lead to my grave.Copyright ©2001 AllisterBoo...
