Beneath the surface rests a soul
So unblemished, so sublime …
Beneath the surface rests a heart
So tender, so crystalline …
Beneath the surface rests a child
So innocent, so fine …
Beneath the surface rests a vision
So unjaded, so mine …
Yet the world sees the mortals at the surface
The exterior,
Never deep, never within
Sits in judgement
So harsh , so grim
And yet the fallible race strives and clobbers
The macrocosm
With all its might …
Those who bow
Get lost in the abyss …
Those who triumph
Sparkle in the sands of time …
I stand strong
As i glimmer, i rise and shine … !
