Poetry - Center of the Myst

Center of the Myst

Life Can Be Such a Challenge and Struggle
To Understand Who We Are and What to Do

The Fear and Confusion From Inside
Has Us Wondering Whether We Belong

Often We Place a Myst Around Ourselves
To Protect Us From Pain and Disappointment

The Further Away We Run and Hide
The Harder It Is to Know Ourselves

The More We Try to Control the World
The Less Effective Our Life Seems to Be

Everything Seems to Be Falling Apart
And the Road We Travel Seems Too Steep

That Is the Time We Have to Make a Stand
And Light the Torch That Burns Away the Hurts

Don't Give Up the Struggle and Lose the Race
Discover the Truth and Beauty Within Yourself

You Are the Only One Who Can Do It All
By Opening Yourself to All That Can Be.

Life Is Not Just a Game of Chance
Take a Step Back to Control Your Destiny

Take the Time to Make it Work
And Say a Prayer to the One Above

Follow Your Heart to Discover Your Desires
And Do Something Special That Really Matters

Reach Out to Find the One Who Can Be True
Who Knows How to Listen to Only You

Myst and Darkness Cannot Take Control
When You Discover the Magnificence That Is You

Know That You Truly Sparkle and Glow
When You Let the Light Shine From Within
