Who am I in this cycle?

It sure does feel familiar.

What have I caused by being?

What is my role to play?

Who am I in this cycle?

Does it end with me?

How do I make this happen?

Who do I look for?

Who am I in this cycle?

Who can I put blame?

Do I accept it as it is?

There is no way to change.

Who am I in this cycle and how do I bow out?

Who must I contend with?

Whose permission do I seek?

Who am I in this cycle?

The only one that matters.

At what point will I know?

At what point will it happen?

Who am I in this cycle?

The one to make it happen.

The moment that I choose for future generations.

Who am I in this cycle?

The one to break the wheel.

To step on stage and feel the ocean and finally one day be free.
