Forever Alive
Author: Areli
-----

I have lived many years
And seen much through
These eyes.
Every emotion
Known to all
Has passed through
Me.
Still I have not
Learned all.
I am still new
To this world.
Sorrow is still
Too near to me.
How unberable
It truly is
To live
When those
Around you
Do not.
I am older
Than time
So it seems.
Yet I am
Still so very new.
So very young.
I am still
Amused by the
Naive in this world.
I still am consumed
By hatred
Towards my foes.
I am still breathing
Beauty.
I can still feel
Myself become
Torn at the sight
Of death,
Praying it shall
Never reach me.
I still run.
I still cry.
Grief is forever
All too near.
Why, then,
Do you look
Upon me
As all knowing?
I know nothing.
As do you.
