Building the Self
A self-affliction come undone
A shattered canvas and setting sun
Beneath the reasons I still stay
Beyond the treasons I dare not name
A world divided in my head
A universe to comprehend
A broken sword to crack my shield
To my reflection I always yield
The sights are endless in this place
The lessons won will change its pace
My heart a thousand burning earths
The sun is back to ask its worth
This challenge I can not betray
To run away is to remain
My shattered history now screams
And every silence is in retreat
And then my self-affliction asks
“Why aren’t you burning with the past?”
I take the treasures, not the flames
So every loss can’t be in vain
A brighter sight to carry through
To what exists when there’s no truth
A world where no-one looks within
The only place where life begins
