Beneath the veil of daily strife,
A legion dwells that tempts the soul,
Coffee’s rush, sugar’s sweet life,
Each sip, each bite takes its toll.
Tea whispers calm, yet holds tight,
Smoke clouds rise, binding wills in gray,
Drink summons night within the night,
While shadows of lust and envy play.
In the silence of one’s heart,
Lies and facades like specters dance,
Deceit, both an art and a dart,
Piercing trust with a two-faced lance.
Yet within us stirs a force,
Stronger than the darkest urge’s pull,
Willpower, from a divine source,
Promises a cup that’s never full
Facing fears, a lonely road,
Yet walked by those who seek the light,
Solitude’s heavy, silent load,
Carved by trials, fierce and bright.
Master thyself, let others be,
For their journey is not thine to mend,
In self-reliance, thou shalt see,
A universe’s secrets at the bend.
Dream, meditate, rise with the sun,
In dreams, the truth often speaks clear,
End the battle within that’s begun,
A greater self, devoid of fear, draws near.
Here, on paths less trodden, dense,
The 2% who seek their true reflection,
Find solace, purpose, and recompense,
In embracing solitude’s quiet redemption.
So venture forth, let old ties sever,
The time is now, let the past have its say,
Thank the lessons, then leave forever,
As the dawn ushers in a new way.
The path is yours, a sacred quest,
To rise above, to heal, to strive,
In finding you, you’ll find the rest,
In this grand design, we’re all alive.
