Melaina Chole

The bile in you will harden and dry
if you wade through life this way.
Live for yourself once, at least try.

Motivations to labour on aren't wry.
"Everything turns to callous one day."
The bile in you will harden and dry.

In time, life should turn simpler. Just pry
open jaws like eyelids, and stay.
Live for yourself once, at least try.

Burn pages, douse polaroids, set voices to fry.
Cry! Thrive on the release, a sudden hurray.
The bile in you will harden and dry.

Forget faces, alphanumerics and a cotton sky.
Scream louder than the Tsar on a Tuesday.
Live for yourself once, at least try.

Memories will blur. Trust and apply
some calm to your conscience. Due relay.
The bile in you will harden and dry.
Live for yourself once, at least try.
