My Undisclosed World Of Thoughts

I wish those smiles would last, I wish those joys would stay In the midst of a misty ocean, 
 Lies the frail spirit of dismay 

 Memoirs of a thankless life, Sets this wandering soul ablaze 
 Waiting for the sun to rise, 
 Hope lures the sense of redemption 

 Life seems to unfurl in this really funny manner, 
 Like a new chapter was written every page 
 To mock at our sense of judgment at each step, 
 And lead us to a whole new way   

 Striving for that one little thing from life, we all live, 
 something that someone else would easily acquire 

 And life smirks at us and takes that away, 
 Leaving us in this pain inducing solitude 

 Wisdom is all that pain gives but leaves a scar behind, 
 One that reminds us of how we were irreversibly ruffled 

 It's a blessing in disguise that these scars are invisible, 
 Because if they were visible, we'd all be so ugly! 

 Peace
