(PART I: Reckoning)
I've wondered how adults managed this stage.
How they are driven to fill up the page.
How did they manage to stay strong?
Despite the consequence of their wrongs.
Because it's one thing they can only treasure.
How did matures grown to be mature?
Is it really that kind of men's nature?
Because all I know, life isn't assured
where people search for cessation to cure
I realized all the things I cried,
and wonder how I managed to try.
To escaped from my problems and die.
Is this how I end what I had fought?
A hierarchical of pain and mess,
I wonder how I conquered those quests.
Do they let the time heal them?
Or their mere anguish condemn them?
Because I know someone GREAT can mend.
Broken hearts and dreams will ascend.

(PART II: Endure)
Who said that living is merely surviving?
Because both acts perceive distinct meanings.
I live with these pain who dwells my soul,
As I survive from the consequences I can't control.
Where my heart who bears the toll,
for dealing to achieve my goals.
Where time consumes these futile deeds.
Like people treat as pleasure they seek.
Until I lost the path, I've been mislead.
That I should be stiff of what I've pursue.
"They said, crack the code and analyze them".
But I still couldn't outwit its algorithm,
Until the burden I bear is now overdue.
Even the responsibilities are on the queue.
It happens like a cycle of unending sequence.
Wherein this ego senses its incompetence.
The longer I exist, I feel like I'm unknown.
But someone whispers "You're not alone"
I remembered this voice from a state of halcyon.
My heart delights because His presence reveals.
The one who bears our sin He healed.
He toughened me and felt this growing zeal.
I thank thee! And I kneel.

Growing earth, shrinking ego.
Beneath from this epidemic darkness.
But now I'm still standing.
As He stabled this frail astral.
Now that I'm a faithful devotee.
Hail His name to the extent.
Let people exalt their praises.
Because He is the answer.
Like how a world war starts.
Now that I'm standing.
Knowing that you’re an army of one.
Singing with a euphoric anthem,
with a message of triumph.
Let darkness steal, no more.
As the light dominate the abyss.
