Honesty (poe/en)

🏠︎ Home

to have no choice
to float in the blue
to flow endlessly
to aimlessly return
restarting all motion
digging out a just sown seed

you won't become a tree
from intangible thoughts
though already sprouting strong
stop cutting the leaves short

you see the light
and turn the other way
as the shadow a safe place remains
and the mystery's too bright

to never plead guilty
is to obscure destiny
to overcome those fears
you start a forest fire
and keep getting burnt

maybe the choice is
not yours to make
or maybe... what remains
is not at all fake
so i say yes to this fate
and wish to shine honestly
