Time

Years make you grow old and bitter
even if your parents didn't succeed in their mission
Time goes by and takes you with it
removing the purest fragments of the soul
The past keeps piling up
and pushes you down with violence
It won't listen your objections
bowing only to forgetfulness

Life teaches and trains you
to fear the one that's stronger than you, to run away
from responsibility and death, those you need to avoid
The body matures and then grows old
The mind decays in it's own experiences
The clear slate of the beginning is covered with chaos
and you can't stop time
not even if you stopped measuring it

The years pass and take you with them
wearing you ever thinner and more transparent
and then comes age and takes you to the grave
It numbs you down and makes you give up
Pride is a pointless cross when life is hard enough as it is
The purity of the soul gates tainted as time goes by
and it can't be washed away
