Wisdom?
So completely incomplete we manifest in this world,
So vulnerable we are behind a facade of confidence,
To be true to my words I need to embellish at times,
Yet my happiness defined contains tears of pain
Whispered wise words of courage and comfort
Contain glimmers of hope so severely twisted
Alas my world lies in silence so polluted
My strain and torment I endure despondent
Trials and tribulations appear rapidly in a crowd
Obstacles to overcome become harder to cloak
Adversities I stumble on proffessing it adventure
Yet there goes my life in the blink of an eye . . .
