That From Within

Everyday I thought of you

Everyday I saw you

Everyday I believed in you

But why couldn’t I acquire you?

It was the exhilaration

the blindness that came with

the merge that followed

the clash from within

Or that’s what I believed

Or that’s what society believed

That made me succumb losing you

The stabbing pain coursing through

Yet I believed

Yet I persisted

Yet I was told

that it is not about the exhilaration

yet about the imperfection from within

How are you to fly without wings?

How are you to conquer without lies?

None of that is possible

So I stopped fantasizing

To gain discipline

To gain patience

To gain focus

In order to achieve you once again

Now I stand

Now I feel

The utter elegance

Of what life was meant to be
