IN MY JAR

 

in my jar of dreams

I see the world at my feet 

I soar above the skies, eagles grown jealous 

did I tell you I constantly dream I fly?

every now and then, I levitate without fear 

In my jar of memories 

I kept moments of us

who we were and what we had planned to become 

I care not if you aren’t here any longer 

those memories are treasured forever 

In my jar wisdom 

I follow the markings of my ancestors 

their words strikes cord always in my head 

a war told before hand does not kill a wise lame

I constantly reflect so as not to go astray  

In my jar of love 

I have nothing left to give 

people keep taking, take and take 

while I hemorrhage, bleed and bleed 

but I’ll be conscious still not to lose my life 

In my jar revenge 

I’ve tamed my anger 

vexations and resentments that could consume me

burn down my soul, roast up my heart 

but I am light, I refuse to be dimmed 

In my jar of purity 

I maintain my lots 

I try as much as possible to radiate love always 

despite my naive heart, broken by people 

I’ll forever uphold humanity no matter these hurts
