This Prism
This Prism
Deep within this prism, consumed by emotions you dare not share
Lost within a sea of woe, hoping for redemption, you do not dare
Cast off the burdens of expectations, that hold no worldly truth
Wherein lie most lost dreams, within the shadows of your youth
In this chasm of despondency, wallowing in the depth of your mind
Casting aspersions to those, that seek no more than to be unkind
Finding a solitary solution, the key within your solemn, tortured soul
Seeking the answers to all the many queries, oh such a daunting toll
Sitting quietly, this war rages on within your worrisome thought
Questioning all you knew and all the lessons you’ve been taught
Of who you really are, of what events transpired to get you here
Should you turn, north, south, east or west this hemisphere
Perhaps find a simplicity within your life to call your own
So even within your darkness, knowing your never alone
And your answers may not come from the world outside
But you come to realize, internally all the answers reside
