This
the strangest life I’ve ever known
illusion
defended to the death as real
fears
rewarded and glorified
deceit
the only way to prosper
sacred
made trivial and trivial sacred
We are all given glimpses of truth
many seem to turn and run away
so that it may never catch up again
the horror of their own reflection
I have stumbled
in the webs of my own rationalization
deceived til I lost sense of truth
Then I sought a path
of inner truth
inner peace
Illusions and fears
reinforced by the masses
would not go quietly
but became the task of the warrior
to be vigilant
and fight though the body trembles
The battles
to cease the fears that haunt
when played in the theatre of the mind
To listen, to feel
the truth in the heart
I will not stop
the tears I’ve learned to cry
to wash away the pain
of patterns to be unlearned
replaced with the knowledge of myself
There is no turning back
to the dark path behind
I cannot close my eyes again
Now that I see the miracles I can make
Keep it simple
dance to the truth inside
see only light
reach for the stars
indulge in the day
