Undecided

By Constantly Connie

Tempered by fire
Hardened like steel,
I question the world
On what is real.

Do I live in the matrix?
Is my brain in a vat?
Do these questions have answers?
Or, do I just live with that?

I will not accept
That, this is all that there is.
So, I will not be silenced,
I will not be coaxed,
I won’t make it easier
On some other folk.

From the flickering flames,
Like the Phoenix of lore.
From the ashes and dust,
I'll arise just once more.

I tell myself this
Each day; I awake
All I need is to rise,
And claim my own fate.

Tempered by flames
Awakened by fire
I will be…as I aspire!
