The Real Me (One of my Favorites)

[Jesse]

Consumed as the leaf in a fire-
Withered hopes, dreams, and desires.
Though rays of light fall on me
Still am I too blind to see.

The snake of fear constricts
and suffocates the happiness
buried within my core.

Writhing against leaves me
drained, leaves me empty, and
leaves me sore.

Always a fight, always a war.
I can't lose sight, there must be more.
More to this, more to life-
I tire of the constant strife.

The struggle to free myself
of myself- to see through
unhazed eyes.

To know the truth, seek
the truth- hidden among
many lies.

I'm too far through this slough
to despond now.
I'll find myself though
I dont know how.

I will triumph, I will win.
The real me is somewhere within.

I will triumph, I will win.
The real me is somewhere within.
