Set Free
In a world filled with distractions you showed me the emptiness behind it,
What value did all of this hold without you beside it?,
That nothingness was dark and empty and held no purpose at all,
And the sadness was unbearable but you wanted to show me the fall,
I begged you not to allow me to feel this but you said that I must see,
That I must feel the difference without that would bring me to my knees,
When I saw all expectations and opinions flee my mind,
The freedom to love came back to me and in my heart I left them behind,
I realized that I was trying to save myself through all other means I could find,
But focusing on what didn't matter didn't heal my mind,
Yet my heart knew what my mind couldn't and refused to comprehend,
That I needed you more than any of those things but now my heart understands,
In a culture that believes that they must have more to fulfill their aching desire,
And is deceived into believing that this will heal their heart and is blinded by the world's control and power,
Yet all the while, the love sits and waits for their eyes to open and see,
That it has been there inside of them the entire time and is waiting to be set free.
