A weary soul,
Beleaguered,
Struggles
To its feet.
One more step,
One more time,
We can rise.
A weary soul
Beleaguered
Rises
To its feet.
One more step,
One more time,
We can meet
The expectations.
Of whom?
To whom do we answer?
Whom must we please?
“Not I”, said the soul.
For I am nothing,
Just a shell,
Empty.
My purpose:
To serve,
And
That
Is all.
