Poem Artwork

How weary this drama finds me
Am I but a actor in this play?
How restricting this life that confines me
Who am I to command this stage?
How defining the role
How perfect in its structure
Now, at last, my eyes see true
A deception of the soul
Corrupt in its perfection
Now in the face of insurrection
I choose, I decide, I become or die
Such is my destiny, our destiny
This moment of truth
Here and now
Does the courage exist within me?
Only my heart knows for sure
Choose Now!
