Metanoia

Behind every intention is a yearning for love and connection
Addictive distractions
Serve to keep us held captive

Gifted with the eyes of an outcast I can see clear
Malleable minds in the hands of fear
Hell is vacant the devil is here

Disguised in the detail
Influencing how you think and feel

But I am not a slave to the system

I will not live my life in a shallow grave
Abandoned the compass that led me astray
I will never let my flame flicker and fade
My former self lost in the blaze

I am the man that I create

I am one
I am whole
I am in control

I used to live in self rejection
Derived from the false perception
That my worth as a person
Came In the form of validation

I was not born to live and die
In the shadow of those around me
I will take my own path
I don't need the world to guide me

Everything I will ever need
I already hold inside me
I will never never look back
This is my destiny

I am one
I am whole
I am in control
