Adequate

You, please take my heed
I'm not ashamed upon serving to your every need
But while proud
I can't out loud
Admit internal tempests

Here, two halves of me
How can they be simultaneous
Or have I yet
To one forsake,
And one partake
Must I decide or perish?

Placed in the middle am I
Is it futile to try to be separate as one?
Am I to wander on the line
On an edge sharpened fine...
Tell me, which one am I...?

Am I an ember, flickering, fading
Matter intangible,
And yet once more I burn
For something grander,
(oh) Am I a whisper,
Here in an instant
Vanishing just as fast
Oh, please tell me I
At least can say I am adequate!!!

Fresh from fertile fields of circumstance
are the seeds that beckon forth with life
What shall I grow,
What have I sown for such a crop of inner strife?

I beg of you your sympathy
For I know you feel the same as me
Your hand in mine,
Though we have died
We may continue living
