The initiation of self honesty

Sometimes the bravest thing one can do

is admit they are scared.
That no matter how tall we stand
And posing and Mars ready for war
We're vulnerable inside.
That we seek comfort
A shoulder to break upon..

Sometimes the smartest thing one can do
Is admit we don't have all the answers.
That we don't know,
That we see failure and uncertainties in all that we've
That we seek to be taught
And be given an answer to this puzzle
We know as life...

That our souls are searching,
We are burdened by the freedom of choice
The uncertainty outcome of every decision.
Admit we are ships lost at sea hoping faith will be light house to guide us to shore
And take us home.

Sometimes the bravest thing one can do is admit we are all sick
Prone to our vices and all the things we keep going back to.
Admit that we don't have the grip
With every passing day we feel everything slowly slip out of our hands
That we holding on to things we know we don't need
Things that don't bring us happiness anymore.

Sometimes the smartest thing one can do
Is admit we are human.
Bound to make mistakes
Learn, unlearn and forget it all
We are bound to fail,
Rise back up. Try again only to do it again.

For in the end, we not fooling anybody
But only ourselves
