De Anima

I awakened as a child
Thrust into the jaws of destiny
Infantile and naïve
To this world on the brink

I'm petrified in the grasp of mortal fear
I'm terrified of the dangers creeping near

Who am I to deny my primal weakness?
Will I die? Is there light beyond the darkness?

The others I see that look like me
Do they even think or speak?
Plagued by doubt, I struggle on
To find the answers I seek

I was born from nothing
Forced into existential being
Am I human or something еlse?
Just a puppet on a string?

I can't go on like this
I don't want to feel this anymorе

How do you prove that you exist?
What if we don't exist?

The battle must go on
This war within, it must be won
But I won't let it take control
My future is mine alone
And when it's time to die
My memories will be part of the sky
