Analysis of Life
Kaci Tami 1960 (Vatukoula)
You do not have to move houses
or leave home
To find happiness
It should come from your inner being
And when you are certain of who you are right now
I am torn between a new me
A me I dont like
the helpless me
The concession me
I hate this state of being
Every pore oozes bile
I wish to regurgitate
past moments
past hours
I hold a salve
to my wounded heart
Until I find the cure
to my dying soul
I will continue
this picture of living!
