BLINDED by JORDYN VIVIERS

Who are you but a soul inquiring the meaning of life I, good sir, know not the knowledge you seek Nor will I satisfy the hopes you speak For I am just a mere soul alike Trying to avoid that of which controls hearts and fights Alas, it is the one thing that you just hope to find But look in the wrong places, our kind I am not worthy of any reconciliation If not love I find Then I seek pleasures with in the hands of the fiend Selfish I am, in only seeking my own content I not only overlook a fellows same But poison their very own scent Oh ere I was an innocent infant But anon I was captured by the rueful world Is that the meaning of life? That of which we cannot have We use in spite And what we do, we use in strife? Oh lord above if ever did true be Why did you blind us if only we want to see?
