Legacy

We are dreamers

wanderers of the stars

We are believers

Though we don't know who we are

We are everything

and nothing

we don't expect you to agree

This is our legacy

Past mistakes

and future reigns

we are never free

from responsibility

Trapped by expectations

by disappointed strangers

You are not the same as me

This is our legacy

Did you think we wouldn't see

the path that takes us 

in between

do you know were stronger now?

weakness never 

was our vow

This is our legacy

Reviews

[LitStar]

very poignant

the sense of collectiveness from this poem links minds alike


it achieves a great sense of literary unity
