Dark Forest

I remember what I am.
So do they.
Cognitive dissonance,
Keeps them at bay.

Illusions tend to
Bind with lies.
Look with your ears,
Not with your eyes.

Listen to your words,
What do they say?
They might just set you
On your path today.

Your soul's purpose
Is hard to find.
Think with your heart,
Not with your mind.

Pain helps us
Find our way.
Don’t hold tight,
Lest it lead you astray.

Two wolves.
Which will you feed?
One leads to love..
The other to greed.
