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.
