I've read too many books I've heard too many songs I've seen too many things to know where I belong. To know where I fit in along which walk of life. I yearn not for the truth But for a guiding light I want to find a prince A struggle, and a quest I want to fight with skill a sword upon my waist I want to scream and yell with all the angry crowds I want to conquer all, and rest in golden halls I want my words to weave a canopy of life I want my stories told To children when I die I want to live a life of beauty, love, and war I want my eyes to shine, I want my wings to soar Alas it cannot be The time for that is past My dreams will never be The world I long for never was It's driven me insane For when I hear the calls, the symphony of where I ought to be it's Powersurging thrall The tears begin to flow For what I'll never see The minds that wrought my world are cruel minds indeed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
