Contemplating



Continuously searching for something greater in Life,

One of the factors that enhance my strife.



Enlightened by thoughts of a seemingly higher knowledge,

Pushed away by those who refuse to face their problems.



Life as some know it is a pre-conceived notion,

Living everyday simply going through the motions.



Settling for satisfaction even if it isn’t whole,

Instead of continuously searching for a truth that’s untold.



Lackadaisical in thinking, infantile in mind,

Explanation of the average person the lives in our time.



See as we want, believe what we are taught,

Self realization is rarely ever sought.



The actions of others are intriguing to my eyes,

Seems our true selves will always be trapped inside our minds.



Locked deep inside with an undying patience,

Waiting to be discovered in the process of self-contemplation.
