Sincere

Sincere in my feelings and words
Honest in my gesture and temperment
Biased in my judgements, one of my many flaws
Direct with my tone to be heard

Heard are the lies I have been told
The ones that led me astray all those years
Though I've managed to sift through the dissembling
To watch my own story unfold

Unfold before me destiny
Please, I beg of you, let your plan be known
I beseech to know what lays in store for my heart
For my mishaps have been many

Many times i find myself here
In a state of perpetual question
As my impatience grows, my resolve just lessens
It's hard to remain as sincere

The quest of greatness is the search for answers to relevant questions. It is in you, in your work. The great doubt that brings joy from despair very few have the soul to encompass, but you have done it here, and I pray you will continue strand by strand forging with words the fire of your breast.
