Illusion Within You

Oh, my creator,

In my journey from falsehood to reality, From deceit to truth, 
From confinement to boundlessness, 
From obscurity to illumination, 
From malevolence to benevolence, 
From nonexistence to existence, 
From familiarity to the unfamiliar.

Oh, my creator,

The affection I expressed, the insights I gained, 
The tears I shed, the smiles I shared, 
The hardships I witnessed, the path I selected, 
The errors I committed, the solutions I discovered, 
The individuals I encountered, the connections I formed, 
The life I've experienced, the truths concealed, 
The expedition I undertook, the conclusion I reached.

Oh, my creator,

The unidentified within the known, known within the unknown, 
The falsehoods within truths, truths within falsehoods, 
The radiance within darkness, darkness within radiance, 
The goodness within malevolence, malevolence within goodness, 
The existence within illusion, illusion within existence, 
The presence within nothingness, nothingness within presence, 
The commencement within conclusion, conclusion within commencement.

Oh, my creator,

The world they acknowledge, the reality eluding them, 
The cosmos they perceive, the purpose they overlook, 
The life they lead, the lives they influence, The masks they wear, the faces they conceal, 
The bodies they recognize, the energies they neglect, 
The desires they chase, the consequences they face, 
The lessons they grasp, the patterns they repeat.

Oh, my creator,

Gratitude for the life you bestowed upon me, 
For the course you charted, 
For the connections you forged, 
For the love you shared, 
For the opportunities you presented, 
For the positivity you disseminated, 
For the closure you bring to existence.
