It
Oh lord! As the melodic memories coat its mind
even if it wanted, never could stop itself
Oh lord! Even when the wind
provoked the tides to cross all its extents
it still didn’t stop!
Went through the storms – the worsts all alone!
Oh lord! As the dusk went darker and longer
it, despite being hopeless, never lost hopes
“obstacles are what makes a road worth travelling”
it would always say!
(But I believe misfortune never left it’s way…)
It thought, these made it even stronger!
Oh lord! Now it can’t summon up the courage
to swim more!
To breathe more!
Even the melodic memories were now fading!
I could already see it drowning!
Oh lord! Is it going to give up?
When it still has miles to go…
It has other oceans to swim, though
if the road is worth travelling,
then why did it want to choose the exit gate?
Why does everyone, bow to fate?
Oh lord! But it can’t stand this anymore!
“Death is a choice and I’m no coward to choose that!”
it swore…
Oh lord! I beg you to pardon it’s mistakes,
don’t condemn it to death, just yet!
Oh lord! Please let it swim a little more
for it haven’t yet reached the shore!

I wanted to dedicate one of my poems to those who don't give up. The dreamers - the believers. 'It' basically refers to the people who try their utter best but end up accepting that death/failure is their ultimate fate.
