Dear Mortality

Altharya


A shadow of a broken tree 
is resting on the ashen ground 
rotten flowers on my knee 
those that you had tossed around 

how long must i suffer this pain 
how many times have you used me for personal gain? 

Dear mortality, 
why can't i feel the taste of honey? 
oh, why can't i be like others? 
why can't i? 
Dear mortality, 
can i be free? 
and if i can where will i go? 
tell me where to? 
Dear mortality, 
help me find the truth 

a glimmer of the firefly 
spinning and passing by 
while you're enjoying your greed 
you're forgetting you made me bleed
