SHADOW CHASER

I have been chasing shadows.
My future is transparent, yet i cannot see through it.
I looke up to the sky and asked"who am i?, where am i?, and what will i be "?
The sky curses at me, while it sheds its tears on my dejected body.
I walked to the crown and made my complains but i was dismissed by his armory.

I crossed a thousand oceans just to get a single answer.
I am as silent as a dove but skillful like a lion.
It is already a pity that a pity cannot pity what a pity can pity.
I journeyed to the island, bore it bore unripe fruits.
My life goes on as i chase shadows.
I still ask those questions"who am i?, where am i?, and what will i be"?

Dingling dingling i hear the bells ring.
Tick tock says the clock.
To me, the world seemed to have undressed herself.
Time and tide go backwards.
The man reasons like a toddler.
Unseen men who have fallen, walked by me.
Then i remember i am only but a shadow chaser.

I threw my question back to the sun who poured his anger one me. 
I felt the mount kilimanjaro move. 
"Who am i?,were am i?, and what will i be"? i asked again.
My questions are still unanswered.

I went to a bar, i ordered for a cold glass.
But nothing paid attention to me.
It felt like the unseen were closer to me.
I forget, i live my life only as a mere shadow chaser.

I am not discouraged, rather i am now motivated to find my mising ribs. 
Unfulfilled i may stand but my hopes are undying.
The future is bright i see the light ahead.
I ponder to myself 'who am i'?
The answers run through my veins.
I have been chasing shadows for long to remember what i will become. 

I want to change my life, and put forth new shoots.
The blood of innocents have spilt on the land. 
I see faded roses, and i sense the taste of bitter freedom.
I only wish, more than a mere shadow chaser
