Gates of Reality

Freestyle/question type
Purpose: questions in which the world fails to answer.
----------------------------------------

Tell me how deep can I fall?
Into the pit of pure emptiness
When I finally topple to the end
Will I live my life in loneliness?
How high can I climb to success?
Without reaching the peak of stress
When I do, will I still be happy?
And live in fame, for nothing less

How much can I sacrifice?
What is the limit to my skills
Can I afford to lose much
Even the extent to kill?
Why must I test my faith?
Against religion itself
When in the end I lose,
To everyone and myself

Am I to live with an imperfection?
All my ways are just a flaw
Should I live in father's wrath?
Obeying only to his call
In a world of woeful wishes
Do we all live in fragile lives?
Is being secretive and cautious
The only way to survive?

What more can I contribute now
when my heart is in despair
How long will it take to heal?
Me from dark nightmares
Who will embrace me at night?
when my tears come crashing down
Is my future now futile?
Hopeless and flimsy all around?

The gates of reality terrorizes me
Every turn is a myth, a fable
A time that is paralyzed
oppressed until it's unstable
A world in which patronizes souls
Permanent in it's decisions
Perilous to all who retort back
Against the careful precisions

    Noni, I think that this is fantastic work. Very insightful and diplomatic. You offer people something to think about without coming to a conclusion. You make a very precise point out of many different scenarios and aspects of life, and you are very concentrated on a very specific meaning.

    At first I was concerned about letting you be an assistant purely because of your age, but when I joined P&Q I was freshly 16, and age has very little to do with poetic talent, which you have tons of. I look forward to working with you and getting to know you and your work better and thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping out with this.

    You're fantastic.
