Seeking What Matters

It’s a matter of discipline
Weakened over time
We have been beaten down
You continue to cross the line
Seeking not justice
But instead more self doubt
The mirror is warped
Hiding who it’s about
It’s a matter of identity
Lost to the past
You have become him anyway
Hidden beneath your grim mask
Seeking forgiveness
You know you can’t teach
He knows who you are
And will stay out of reach
It’s a matter of survival
And too many open wounds
Seeking lost comfort
Abandoned all too soon
