Why do we feel the need to exist,
While thoughts are etched in ivory pages,
Many temptations are yet to be missed,
Various go through miscellaneous stages,
Lets make life thoughtful a meaningful twist,
No mistakes let's live no lies,
Our memories will never be missed,
Try not to hear your own regretful cries,
New paths to be taken,
The path ahead flames burning bright,
No more thought's to be mistaken,
Take off with your plans in the midst of midnight,
Color your words with your paintbrush you obsess,
Change this world, it's empty, colourless.
