Anthology poem

Change in life, our choice to live or die within 
A soul's burning desire for completeness 
Sometimes we can lose sight easily 
A surrender to society wicked ways 
In us all the same, heart beats life 
A child instituted beneath the soul 
Hidden from the world they live 
Beating, my life vein throbs existence 
Only in ourselves can we make the world 
Only in oneself do we live a world befeallan to us 
Where is it I love deeply in depths of my being 
How to love except we ourselves are love 
It is there in the depths of darkness soul emerges 
Where people walk the same dreams they fight               
To look deep in the soul, to perfect perfection is change 
What is it we live but do not enjoy the inspiration 
A crossroads of time's distance travel 
You stop and smell the flowers 
A time, a break from realities truth 
The meaning of life, who are we 
Is there purpose or just to live and die 
What is it we see a better life for the future 
Where is it we see our children, our faith, our hope 
Our destiny, becoming of life 
For what is a man that he does not live 
His journey be only vain, unreal 
To conquer is to achieve initiative 
Wages of life break even the strongest 
What is it about love so strong 
Essence of her fragrance alone is love itself 
Beauty of the beast, to love is to be devoured 
The spirit speak, there I soar 
I come fast I roll hard 
Chances and choices be made 
I not here to condemn the world but it be saved 
Tho I walk the shadows of life its darkness 
Who I am is strong and will mind 
My souls dying thirst for life I breathe 
Unbroken I fail to fall to my knees 
Unbroken I dare to fold under the earth 
I will not die that which I become 
But believe light shows heart 
I should love even in dark
