The Return

I’ve closed my eyes, I’m on my knees, I’m torn by opposing force,

I cannot distinguish right from wrong, I am lost without further recourse.

If true is what’s written into my mind, by society deemed as right,

then I must confess that I have sinned, passed the line that is black and white.

Yet if emptiness threatens to drown your soul, curtails your thoughts and your deeds,

is risking it all to free yourself, survival or should I concede?

Then I look through the stars to the moon at night with these rambling thoughts alive,

the longing and yearning it overwhelms, then I know for my soul what is right.

‘til the break of dawn shatters dreams with its light and duty is what it brings,

the answer so clear in the starlight recedes while the sun swiftly clips my wings.

So I’m asking you now, for another day,

let me fly with that which I for yearn,

free inhibitions that take me away,

‘ere to sanity I return.
