Where is my mind?

Life long dream/ Climb/ introspection

Life Long Dream

the life i spent with you

wasnt long enough

i lived and i died

but you were luminescent when you appeared

i didn't believe in love

until i found you in my dream

we wed by the sea

we carried our legacy on

through thick and thin

we both just knew this was right

no doubt in our minds

every problem resolved with words

we were both happy

we had our utopia

escaping reality

in the land of dreams

i died and i woke in my bed

you weren't by my side

you were just a dream

i dreamt a whole life

i woke up a better man

Climb

happiness is a crows nest

perched high on a cliff

can you climb to find its gifts

you sweat and you fear as you climb

wondering if you'll fall and die

second guessing if the boon is worth your life

the time comes and you arrive

there's breakfast for tomorrow's strife

we climb every day for simple things

they seem like too much now

later it will be child's play

looking in hindsight as a stronger self

Introspection

ugliness

the truth

that which we look upon

and hide from the rejections we see

our demons boil over

as we hold the steaming lid

taking burnt hands

over bruised ego

to admit what you hate in others

is what you hate in yourself

hide behind your pride

cry late nights begging to be different

finding that safe place away from your identity

the crisis is clawing at the door

you can say you don't know who's there

because your vanity denies that its you

a child hiding from their own shadow

the shadow is depressed

it walks behind you hating itself

because you can't accept it

if you can't, then who will?

struggle now

is just routine for your stronger self

you'll hurt every day

but one day you'll have enough

when you give up

you'll find it takes no effort anymore

you excel and they stare in amazement

"how do you do it?"

i gave he my all every day

until i broke

then i just became

if i have the heart

and the introspection

i can grow and become anything
