Just a Thought

Exposing the unacknowledged intellection of the inflicted
Delving in the presence of delinquent attempts
I wonder if too little too late leaves real emotion exempt
We are often forced to see the reality of our actions

Selfish satisfaction in an exchange for a pocket containing emptiness
Heavy moods to suffocate suppressed notions that you are disgraced
Its time to own up to faults; all the pessimistic thoughts embraced
I just wonder if I will ever find my way back to the very beginning

There is clarity, but only momentarily for the positive reaction
Then I dream in colors to vivid to place on pages in black and white
I could show you what I see if your eyes could handle the sight
Defensive tactics though often leave the mind in never ending contraction

Divinity segregates and negates the perceptions of fate
I wish I could absorb the commitment between a little deeper
Let it set in gold, instead of metals that are often cheaper
Disrespecting the value of coveted connexion

Its better to open your eyes but remain tight lipped
The interruption causes explosions of frustration
I see mood cycle abruptly between suicidal and elation
And all I want is to understand.
