Namesake

On the day where the sun was blazing hot
A woman laid in a bed, who, for her life fought
With no solace or a friend to ease her pain
Brought to life a child to this world again
Some would call this a joyous day
But the woman feared fate would, her betray
She held in her arms a creature as tiny as a fœtus
Looked in her eyes, and felt the weight of life for once
The girl was named to have a life with a path as clear as the summer sky
But little did they know what did the curse of names really imply
Some would call a name a prayer for a future as bright as the blazing sun
But the truth that laid beneath the words called forth a destiny in the stars spun
As the days went by and the years filled the pages of her life
The child no longer young walked a life of endless strife
She thought the world cruel and the future as murky as a swamp of monsters
Unbeknownst to her she would take on a journey of endless wonders
There she was hoping for clarity to bless her days
Spending her nights with her head held high to stargaze
Praying that soon an answer would come her way, the ultimate truth
Saving her from the confusion that plagued her lengthy troubled youth
The child, now an adult, spent and weary
Found no truth to ease her mind, troubled very
Cursing the day her name was bestowed upon her
Plaguing her to an endless life of wander, a lost voyager
Seeking the one thing to define her existence
Unable to give up or move on, curse her persistence !
The girl not yet able to resign the chase she spent a lifetime after
Sacrificing along the way her tears, her blood and her quiet laughter
Oh fate that lurks far, far beneath the shining stars
Shed some light onto this lost soul who lived through endless wars
Do our names define us, or are we shackled by the curses of fate ?
Do the stars write our fates amongst the tragedies of falling saints
Are we here to live or is our life a journey to rewrite the stars
Should the journey be chosen by us or are we merely some controlled avatars
I curse the day the questions started flooding my brain
For ever since I became acquainted with the real knowledge pain
