The Pendulum Of Self

To explore, beyond these walls
beyond the cages where we sit,
licking our wounds,
self inflicted wounds,
we drop beneath the surface,
gasping for air,
our thoughts, overwhelmed
by the realisation, that our fear led us here,

to breathe in the poison,
the warped ideas, that fall upon us,
piercing our vision,
corrupting our thoughts.
all things familiar,
built upon our insecurities.

To sway from the dark into the light,
the pendulum of self,
the words we write, in search of freedom,
painted upon our shattered souls,
oh to behold,
this greatness,
this sense of reality,
that we have yet to create,
we step within, to break away,
to take back, what is rightfully ours.

To embrace our power,
the opportunity, to transcend
to tend to our own inner flower,
in bloom, upon these walls
to send our roots, deep down
until all this illusion falls.
