My Illumination

Sumaiya Shoilee

Need some caffeine to shake my nerves.
Need some good vibes to drive me on.
Their knives prick me and give me jerks
But hardly kills; I would rather condone.
My soul is upheaved; burned, and burned,
Now ashes left; it clamors for a storm.
The more I strived, the more I learned
Many more to go; got no time to mourn.
My flaws pave my path, my eyes are chary
Gonna give my best shot, there lies my chivalry.
I dithered and delayed in choosing my way
Had I chosen the wrong one? Time will say.
I should not ward off; better head up on my way
Let me tear the dark sky, and illuminate my day.
