Sea of Tyrants

When you are lost,
 look for the stars.
They share a mission,
lost in time,
lost in graves,
lost in feelings.

Become what you sought out 
to become.
There is more than one 
of you.
But they reside in 
the same body.

Choose wisely
who you befriend.
The world is only cold,
when lost in
someone's hands.

Never abide by regret.
Shade the feeling 
of hatred.
Look away from stems 
of false prophethood.
Become the truth.
The candle that lights
the dark room.
And also 
the wind that 
blows out the candle.
