Pledge

There's a pledge you've been waiting for

You're afraid to say for yourself

One that you wait in fire

To hear from someone else

All that you want to be sure

An answer, a certainty,

and what remains in your hands from the depth you seek,

Is insanity.

When you see that you're fooled

When you don't know how to stop

Neither below, nor above,

In yourself, in some state.

There's a pledge you've been waiting for

You avoid to say out loud

You're begging inside

To hear it from someone

All that you believe

All that you test

Which you can't stop but try

There is a pledge you cannot say out loud.
