HOW MUCH LONGER CAN I LAST? By Jasen Sousa

HOW MUCH LONGER CAN I LAST?


My vital signs are plunging, my energy is dwindling drastically.
I can never stop running, there is always someone after me.
Checking for my heartbeat, no detection,
is this the time there will be no resurrection?
My body deteriorating, about to collapse,
how much longer can I last before I become part of the past?

How much longer can I endure?
Slowly being taken out of my possession, everything which is pure.
My good heart dissolves inside of a wicked world that keeps revolving,
how much longer can I keep getting up, how much longer can I keep falling?
The creator wants my corpse,
softly inside my mind, I hear him calling.

All I dreamt to be,
all in this life that was meant for me.
Trying to accomplish my goals
before I look up and see them throwing dirt in my hole.
I may not get a chance to grow old in age,
but I grow every time I print on the page.
Begging for the answer to the most important question I could ask,
how much longer can I last?
