Truth

From fyr wiki

What is your truth?
When you look into yourself,
Do you like what you see?
Can you remember your roots
and not turn your back on your youth?
How do you live with yourself
Knowing you come from nought
Yet strive each day for greatnesss?
We are born with nothing
We are of nothing
Yet we have so much
And we lay waste to it all.

Where is thy truth?
Is it buried with your forefathers?
Do you have the strength
To find and face it?
Will it make you strong
Giving you the food
To carry on?
Or will it tear you down
And leave you with all
That you were born?
How can you live
Knowing it’s all gone
Never to return?
We are filled with so much
Yet we deny it all
By forgetting where we came from.

How is your truth?
Is it solid and strong?
Will it hold you up
When you are down?
Can you reach for it
When all seems lost?
Will it heed your call?
How can we go on
Burying it under the effal
That is the life we live?
We can be all we want
To whom we want
Anytime we want.

Yet we deny it
In the face of God!
