When I crave
Hurdles overrule
When I recline
Knocks overpower
What if I am still ?
Reliving is painless
To subsist is thorny
Gain is vague
Yet race is on
What if I am still ?
Innate ethics
Is a curse
How I wish
To be a part but
What if I am still ?
If I am still
I will grin
For my conscience
Never deceived
Is that the gain ?
