after thought

You must wonder 

Why so much thought into 

Understanding the fabric of life

When it's so much easier 

To just live

With all the flaws? 

And even after this deep understanding 

What are the odds 

Of being happy after that ? 

You know there comes a time

When breaking old patterns 

Becomes a necessity 

When figuring out the truth

Becomes as essential as life itself

Not many can understand 

How time stands still

The conflict

The need for clarification 

The crossroads 

And the pain 

Of staying in a cocoon

When you could just fly.
