Born to be...



Me, myself and i
It has always been

To strive for success
-be at peace with HE
To adknowledge his mistakes
-Repent
-Lord forgive
For his sins.

Born to be a star
Tribulations /obstacles
Has deemed that hard

Born with a scar:
Internally placed
Where surroundings are chosen by heart

Born to be far:
Away from earth'
A confined space where it is dark-
Where the night never ends:
Black knight
(shadow)
Still finding his path

To treat and handle love like an egg
Till it lasts>
The back to his fence

'I have always been in a cage
Still
Wondering how is it
Like:
Outside

Born to live:
Born to die.
