My Life Is A Battery

My life is a battery

charged with visions and dreams,

connected with others

in fate’s unknown schemes.

With so much resistance

I fight my troubles,

only to find in reality

someone has burst my bubbles.

The touch of another

so often creates a spark,

but with the passing of time

I’m again in the dark.

The circuit expands

for the current to reveal,

no power on Earth

can match what I feel.

With visions and dreams

my whole being will extend,

through the passing of time

from beginning to end.
