This year, I burned myself away
I let myself wilt
Without dismay
Often, I was horrified
A world in meltdown
Triggered my pride
And let me drown
I got up, though
I always came around
I always knew my purpose was true
I could see it when the skies turned blue
From the greyest clouds it came anew
I always saw it within you
My people have been hiding
Seeking their truths in the right timing
Although it never occurred to me
That we is greater than I
And the unfolding of time
Is really just an illusion
Of the mind’s eye
Within it holds a truthGreater than any truth known
This year, I burned myself away
I let myself wilt
Without dismay
Often, I was horrified
A world in meltdown
Triggered my pride
And let me drown
I got up, though
I always came around
