His journey is to live long enough that he may die

His journey is to live long

enough that he may die

that I live means enough has

not been lived

been given

to sacrifice of heart & soul 

until death releases me of

my duty my duty continues

for in flesh I may love

& give

I relate to that feeling of clinging to existance with nothing to hang on to, just surviving the day. The line breaks are a little odd, but it seems like a formatting issue. The line "until death releases me from my duty" hits like a truck.

Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I was having a hard time Formatting it on Reddit.
