[ The Search ]

I’m not quote, perfect
Unquote
At least not by the
Atypical standards
But I’ve sure got a lot
That I can boast
And some grace to cast
A light out from this lantern
…
So I won’t be tripping
Stumbling through the dark
Though I’ve tripped before
And fallen many times
When I’ve skinned my knees and palms
It sure did hurt
But they’ve got healed up
And come back to being fine
…
And that’s just the point of life
Ain’t it so
To make mistakes
In hopes you finally get it right
For the only thing that
You really can control
Is if you choose to take a step
To keep the fight
…
Because it sure as hell
Is easy just to fear
To keep yourself
Held within a prison
Because the mind is quite
Mischievous and queer
Would turn a fool before
It ever gave you wisdom
…
Now, who’s to say
That I ain’t nothing but a fool
Blinded by a hurt
And left to wander
To think about it
It really just seems cruel
And to think that that’s a thing
That I could ponder
…
Morning comes
And I open up my eyes
And looking in the mirror
I’m getting older
Silence in display
With no reply
I think another day
I’ll let these feeling smolder
…
There can be so much distraction
If it’s let
And the things we pile on
Can sure get heavy
Yet it’s never building muscle
With it’s heft
And to carry it
We’re never truly ready
…
Now I told you
I ain’t quite the perfect man
At least not by the
Atypical standards
But one thing for sure is
I ain’t afraid to stand
To search for truth
In and all amongst the answers
