Truth and Beauty


I write to tell the story Of two lovers Who many try to seperate Because many do not understand them For who they truly are So I write To help many understand That there is no way the the lovers can be Exept together: There was a man Whom a woman really admired Even though many try to hide him and keep him trapped Under the many webs they build He always finds his way to the light of the surface Back to his woman The only woman who imbraces him An individual, But there are times When there are so many webs That it's hard to find where one ends And one begins And he becomes lost And cannot break free on his own. Web cover web On and on it goes Web after Web after Web It is in those times That it's up to his woman His mate A brave individual To free him and bring him to the light An individual who is not afraid Of the of being hurt by him Because the individual understands That when she frees him He can free her From the webs that she may have surrounded herself in The webs that would've killed her Had she chosen them for her refuge Instead of the freedom that the man can give her. Why do Many try so hard to detain him? To keep him imprisoned? When all he ever does, Is set them free True, he can cause pain When he's unleashed But he can't help that He is what he is And although he can hurt The Webs...The Webs that Many shelter their own selves in The Webs that many depend on For protection from the pain that the man friend can cause Those Webs...they kill This man may hurt you, but not anymore than you allow him He is a reflection upon any who face him He is what you make him No more and no less Any pain that he causes Is self inflicted What's wrong? That wasn't what you wanted to hear? Well, it's what you needed to hear. And that is why I write So that the world may recognize That the two belong together That they are of eachother That they are one That the two can never be seperated
