A promise's worth

Writing with lyrics

By Jui HanPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Why do we try our best to succeed

in getting that golden plate

we know we don’t need

souls tired. Rest! But sleep can’t give

but how can we step forward

when we always pull back

doomed on a self-made loop

are lights enough to guide us home?

even the sun can’t do — 

are we vessels that need fixing?

but how can we go home?

when all arrows pointed up

tied in a place that falls

Say let go, let go

what do I have to let go?

I hold nothing

Say try, you’ll never know

what should I do?

why do I have to prove my worth?

tears will fall

choose something you can’t replace

is a promise worth all our mistakes?

But how can we go home?
