I Still Think Therefore...

It's easy to perish

When one has not a thing to cherish

You see

I used to live for the possibilities

The chances

And the opportunities

But I was living for futures

That never came to be

I always remained at ease

But why should I deny myself

The feeling of being relieved?

I suppose

Writing poetry seemed to be my release

But should I venture out

To seek a new peace?

Why should anyone hold themselves back

Just for a temporary feeling

Of being rejected?

And why must we focus

On what we had lacked

When it leaves us

With a feeling

Of being neglected?

I still think, therefore I'm here

Even when the reason's unclear

I lost the will, but not the mind

So I stay present in the time

It's so easy to die

When you have nothing to live for

And don't you know

That life and death

Is thinner than rice noodles

Singapore

This is the brutal truth

Those with dreams and passions

Won't give it up

To increase someone else's expansion

We are tethered to one point

And our movements

Are just reactions

So I live my life knowingly

That writing grants satisfaction

My vision's been blurred by others

Their ambition defers another

And they care not

That we are distant brothers

I love who I am

So I continue to write

And who I am

Has been displayed in ink

I still think, therefore I'm here

Even when the reason's unclear

I lost the will, but not the mind

So I stay present in the time

Oh so I

I'm just sad

That I lost the will to fight

Love is the key, trust
