The good is for now
But are illusory
Passing swiftly
The bad experiences
Mark us forever
Forcing us to search
To find a purpose within
To learn from it
As a seed to bloom
To grow
To discover my hubris
I need and want to know
Want to live yearning
To aspire higher, to ascend
And for my wounds, heal
For my mistakes mend
My choices I'll never regret
For they lead me upon a path
To finding truth, and hope
Rotten foundations
Left burning
