• Will we ever be free of our desires?
    Will we ever be able to just let things go?
    Let them be in a world left behind?
    Why must we keep the weight around ourselves?
    The weight of a world not quite real.
    Not quite what our dreams wish it to be.
    It seems as though we will always carry on like this.
    Like a sore in your mouth you can't seem to stop tonguing long enough for it to heal.
    Can we not stop thinking of what we yearn for
    long enough to let it become numb?
    Can we not defy ourselves something so sought after
    and live happily?
    Are we destined to wonder
    how things might have been?
    Are we to forever be caught
    in a state of permanent turbulence?
    Life in this world is a cruel fate
    but only so for what we have made it
    and for how we torture ourselves.
    Is it our nature?
    Our destiny to forever wallow
    in the lack of self realization?
    Can we not push past our pain?
    Forget about our wrong doings?
    For a slice of our own peace?
    Within the confines of your mind
    is the most gruesome torture
    you will ever experience.
    Are you strong enough
    to push past yourself?
