This is a song which says a few things about the meaning of life and the value of audience.

I have lived a thousand lives,

I have been to a hundred worlds.

Yet nobody knows.

-

I have suffered countless sorrows,

in pain and hardship wallowed.

Yet nobody knows.

-

I have loved, I have hated,

I have struggled and greatness created.

Yet nobody knows.

-

Does it matter, I ask,

When nobody knows?

The tragic Queen Irony of all:

-

Nobody knows.

    What do you mean, exactly?

    Well, there is none.
    Sorry, I already tried to explain up there that I misspoke when I said ’song’.
    I’m not a native speaker and in the rush of writing a post, I said ’song’ instead of ‘poem’.
    It’s not impossible to make it a song, though, but it doesn’t really have very easy-to-make-music-for kind of lyrics. :)

    Sorry, wrongly addressed post, was meant for the poem titled ‘Quivering’.
