Adequate - A-One
You, please take my heed
I'm not ashamed upon serving to your every need
But while proud
I can't out loud
Admit internal tempests
Here, two halves of me
how can they be simultaneous, or have I yet
to one forsake, and one partake
Must I decide or perish?
Placed in the middle am I,
Is it futile to try
to be separate as one?
Am I to wander on the line
on an edge sharpened fine...
Tell me, which one am I...?
Am I an ember,
flickering, fading
matter intangible, and yet once more I burn
for something grander, (oh)
Am I a whisper,
Here in an instant
Vanishing just as fast,
Oh, please tell me I at least can say I am adequate!!!
Fresh from fertile fields of circumstance
are the seeds that beckon forth with life
What shall I grow,
what have I sown
for such a crop of inner strife?
I beg of you your sympathy
For I know you feel the same as me
Your hand in mine, though we have died
We may continue living
Placed in the middle am I,

to be separate as one?
Am I to wander on the line

matter intangible, and yet once more I burn
for something grander, (oh)
