Seeking Wisdom
I've got these dreams, down deep inside. If only I could let go of all my selfish pride. Why, oh, why?
My heart is vigilant, remaining aware. I keep those I hate distant, while holding true to the ones who care. This I choose to share.
My body is determined, to keep me alive. I'm on board with that, wanting my mind to also thrive. So why do I deprive...myself?
My words convey a message, known only to the author. Why can't I reveal the truth? Why take this torment further?
Passionate decree...I can't admit. Hurting only me, by my omission. I should just quit.
Can I burden the truth with a lie? I doubt it. I've always been too shy.
So I'll remain aloof and unsure. My wisdom is inside, as I always reach for just a little more.
