THE INDETERMINATE INFANT
I smiled, it indeed felt like the best
The best feeling of all time in my chest
The chest that use to feel pain and not rest
The rest of my lost one who claimed to be honest
The honest son of a king who never wore a crest
I laughed, it was so loud and sincere
I felt like it was the first time in my sphere
I could not remember the days of my tear
I have not felt this way all year
I know for a fact this will last and go nowhere
Then I thought to myself, would this joy last?
Is it one of those feelings from the past?
Will I again be an extra, far from the cast?
And not even remember I was part of the last?
No matter what happens, I will enjoy the blast.
So this is my own piece of assurance
It is from myself, unlike an unexpected occurrence
My soul prides in itself; the joy of my perseverance
That surely, one day, the truth will lead to the observance
Of the one name that was far from remembrance.
