rain clouds

where hearts of youth
and heaven awaits
i stand corrected
where i saw darkness
i err in shame
where i lost my will
where to live i faltered.

fools live in bliss
i live perturbed
my sleep stirred by whispers
my eyes wide open
i see the stark figures
and sleep no more

i have let people define my worth
and so forth and forth
the scales have fallen
i have been found wanting
by eyes as blind as night
and so i see that where ...

i had lost everything
now i know
i gained it all
