The Essential Stage
I could rip my heart out
and lay it upon this page
I could take time and count
all the Isolated days
I can sit and pray about
the end of this pain
Only to find out
This is the essential stage.
For any prayers that exist
and may bring about change
We see now with this
they've never came my way
I can sit with the intent
that time will end this some day
Or I can accept it
This is only the essential stage.
This rough water ocean
the home to this stage
remains out spoken
till this very day
My mind is still open
though controversial to say
but my will is broken
This is the essential stage.
