explanations abound
true reality of life
current affairs disillusioning past
what was once taught ingrained
destroying trust within the truth

past themes dictate our reality
our self belief our only truth
all that we know
our teachings our compass

for it is not the teachings of the soul
rather those that are entrusted with our lives that dictate
our souls shine through
clouds of others shadow its rays

alone in this world I was destined to be
forever in the shadow of darkness no more
solitary blindness bringing clear sight
the rage burns deep within my soul

alone forever I’ll never be
