I attempt to find the truth,
and recapture the mystery of my youth.
I am wiser in my years,
as the result of countless tears.
The knowledge gained and emotions lost,
has fractured my heart at a great cost.
I retreat and construct a shell,
like my own independent hell.
Try as I may, try as I might,
I can't evade the night.
Along it advances and nears,
the solution to my fears?
I elevate high and true,
lifting my face to the sky blue.
It is now evident and apparent,
how I must live a life transparent.
