You are not doomed and gloomed
You are on an expedition
Carrying hefty equipment
Complying with the commission
The road is rigid and ruggedly resting
Sometimes there is no road at all
So many hills, so many pills
Not one familiar joy
Feeling every numbing sensation
Walking into the land of damnation
Nobody has ever seen nor heard of
Spread with seas of tears and trees of fears
but you are there with your microscope
Magnifying the bitter phenomena
Observing, postulating and experimenting
Exploring the unknown, turning off the oblivion
You need a reason to struggle, they keep repeating
Unaware of your daily finding
Depths of heart you drowned in
then back to the shore again
With a new view for the other end
A heavy burden of discovery
Not a single soul with you could carry
It was your own call of duty
Now you cannot report
and if you complain, they get bored
Genius feelings are transforming you
Words cannot describe nor can actions convey
but it is transcending you
Taking humanity some stage new
Through day you are blocked and at night weary
Oh what a breakthrough! Made you real and revolutionary
