Life Cycle
My friend and my foe
Enmeshed from head to toe
A deamon’s prison ingested
The deeper fall I go
Prisoned by the evil
Surrounded by the haze
The viscous cycle created
Continues like a maze
Lost and found again
I think I’m free from sin
My past and future jagged
This battle I must win
People think they know me
Perceptions cruel and wrong
I’m stronger than they think
Learning more as I go along
The struggle and the joy
This life we must accept
I know myself the most
So I will tell it best
Growing more each day
My voice a whisper low
I turn the volume up
So I can hear and know
I will travel thru
The good days and the bad
I’ll focus on the feelings
Both the happy and the sad
I will exude love
For this is what’s in me
Despite the bitter hate
That seems to always be
All I want is peace
Within the world and me
Imagine only love
And what we all could be
But all I can control
Is what I choose and do
My present being lives and dies
My inner soul renews
The next time I’ll know more
I’ll live another story
My one last dying wish
A world of peace and glory
