Being

What's the identity

of this entity?

I'm a lifeform

who needs to evolve

not a problem

that needs to be solved.

Tell me,

is it my heart

you're seeing?

and

Can you fault a being

for being?

Subsistence and resistance

the resistance of existence --

striving to surviving

surviving to thriving

succumbing to overcoming --

my journey of becoming.

From dust and ash

arisen.

More chapters to be

written.

Beyond the hurdles

this mortal

reaches a swirling

portal.

Before shuts that door

of Time

and these feet of mine

meet that line

a being learning to be

better

shall you find.
