A Quest!
As it saw its prey wandering leisurely around
Unaware of those hungry eyes watching
Hovering across, waiting for that moment to strike
One that carries life and death together, similar yet
distinct
Is it the illusion of doe, or the reality of eagle’s claw?
Is it the shattered pieces of mirror, or a face being
painted to lie?
Is it the sadness in those teary eyes, or of those dreams
made of nightmares, a far cry?
Is it the inability to stand up to truth, or a mere fear to
face, accept, or even defy?
To define, to pretend, to scream, to defend
Mocks who, victimizes whom, who falls apart, and wins who
Wiser to appear, bravery to fake, smiley to kill, colors of
fear
How long it could hold on standing upon that shaky land
To fall beneath, all tired and broken, but not before point
of no return
Where fire of truth burns, scares own shadow even
Accepts if carries a soul, yet to have nothing to offer but
to die
Alas! Another life being lost, another life being tried.
