What is the unknown
If you look in a closet what'll be discovered, a monster or just an                                                              old sweater
To know there's always a risk in searching the unknown

Which path would you choose? The path of darkness or of light
If you find a door, would you open it and face the monster inside
would you fight it, befriend it
Or would you just pass it by, fleeing the thought of adventure
Deciding weather to accept life or decline it

Love is a thing of beauty
Constantly surrounded by war, bloodshed, and hate
Bringing hope in its eternal struggle

In a perfect world, love prospers
In a perfect world, love heals
In a perfect world, love never dies
But the world isn't perfect
so unfortunately love doesn't always prosper, heal, or survive

I am myself
An incomplete reflection of my soul shown in limited colors
In truth, I am who I wish to be but never show

In the darkness I embrace myself,finally at peace
But within the light I revert, I become an undefined mask,
not completely untrue, but, not really me
One side happy, pure, yearning for acceptance
The other calm, guarded, proctective, keeping safe the soul within

A daily conflict raging within
Trying to figure out who I am
Trying to understand the radiant being within
Wanting nothing more than to embrace it ...
