Purpose

poem by: Nemo Nemees
Written on Jan 28, 2018

Imagine in twenty years 
Who will you be? 
What will you do
What will you leave

Imagine in one hundred years
Who would you've been
What would you've done
What did you leave

Will they know your name
Will they sing songs about you
Or take your name in vain

Will they follow in your footsteps
Will the know that your footprints 
Walked the earth

Are you going to be something
Someone
Who changed the world

Or are you going to watch 

Maybe it's just me
But there has to be a reason 
For waking up
Every
Single 
Fucking 
Day

This ache in my chest
This strive for something more
Cannot be ignored

I will make sure
That I change
Everything

Your eyes change color as your god intended. Your smile glows as if angels reflected their light off. Your home stenches of bibles, And my burned skin. Your bedroom holds fires of wanted demons. The magic cards express ... Read more
