Beautiful Beings

Lessons From The Past

I stood besides it
Many times over
I sang the truth within my heart
Hoped it would redeem me
From myself

The world was larger then
Endless possibilities
Expectations of the unknown
I chose myself
A hundredfold
Dreaming better would deliver

Time tests men
I learnt what I never knew
I hung on to what I believed
Failed miserably in the strange
Still not a thing I would change
In spite of pain
Hidden beneath my mistakes
And all shortcomings
Lies the me you see today
