Who Can We Be

Who are we to say,
What life is meant to be...
So much we want,
We need
Or try to become.

But what are we supposed to feel,
As each day goes on.
And when the pain grows more
Than any could handle—
Beyond this curse
I shall still see the sunset,
Never rising or never falling.

Still so beautiful,
With no more moments
Just an endless eternity
Collapsing this one fine day.

Then this destiny
Shall be mine and not yours—
Love one and hold all others close,
And pay attention to each minute
To see nothing but save face
In a day of cruelty.
