I’ve discovered truth, a worthy place for my mind

Where I can leave the heavy burdens I carried behind

It took so long, so long for me to see

The only one holding me back was always me

I’ve suffered by my own hand, my own self inflicting thoughts

I lost the war, gave up the battle but still I fought

I allowed myself to be lost in the darkness where I thought was home

I stayed there with cold nights that kept me company when I was alone

Yet I still loved and I cried, I kissed and I lied

I suffered through life but kept it deep inside

Then came a day, upon reading a book

I found the words that changed my life with just one look

Every word, every thought and every action

Will be the result of your life’s great satisfaction

Oh, I bid myself pardon for being so blind!

How I wish I can hastily stop and rewind

For all I have done, all that I’ve bled

With life’s hidden lessons burning bright red

But the beauty of pain is allowing you to grow

To transform into a stronger spirit who can choose to know

I see now! Oh and more clearer than ever before

To set myself free will only prove useful if I let myself soar!

Yes, I’ve discovered truth, a worthy place for my mind

To love myself enough to leave my broken way of life behind.
