those

balance is for those

balance is for those
who have not yet decided
why they are alive

my soul infuses
each weapon i bring to bear
and those i lay down

my admiration
is for those who try boldly
even though they fail

these wonderful things
are misery within to
those who possess them

it can be harmful
to follow the march of those
who go before us

lust is for strangers
love is for those who are not
what is left for me?

i wander yet not
all those who wander are lost
i don't think i'm lost
