I am wise.
I hold the fire of truth in my eyes.
I will not let it reach its demise.
Because I am wise
and I know wisdom more than you.
I was a fool.
I played in my own happiness
and never thought twice about truth.
My eyes did not see,
my ears did not hear,
the things they didn\'t wish to know.
I ignored voices of wisdom.
I treaded deep paths of snow.
I wandered down valleys of ignorance.
Because truth - I didn\'t want to know.
But I woke up one day
and I cried
because I knew my foolish and selfish ways
had increased my pride.
I realized my life was spiraling down.
It was reaching unwanted points of dismay.
So I thought about how to fix it
and I realized the only true way
was to look at my past and learn
that I needed to uncover truth that day.
So I did and I confessed
that my wanton ways got me into a mess.
And I stood up for myself.
I cried no more.
Because it\'s hard to cry
when fiery truth is burning in your eyes
