A Vision Of Truth Poem by Karen Alc.

Your eyes reveal a vision of truth
A blueprint of strife and loss
A longing for lost loves and new ones to come
No one to blame, your life is your fate

Battle wounds at a tender age
The hidden scars would reveal your true pain
A choice to live life with no remorse or rancor
Unbeknownst to all, peace is your true ambition

Big dreams to accommodate simple pleasures
Never look back, but never forget
This is your life, your motto, your strength

Thrice a decade, not yet lived,
Constantly running, affording no time to quench your thirst
For all that life has to offer

And yet the challenge is to ask yourself…Why?
To fulfill childhood loses with material wins?
To escape the human weakness that intimacy brings?
To love superficially for fear of being hurt?

Stray away from that which is real
For there are goals to reach and ambitions to fulfill
But if this is your truth
Then be it… play hard, live life to the fullest as you see fit

This is your personal reality,
And if true happiness is what this brings you…
Live it and be happy if that is your will.
