Placebo

Moments in time tear at my solace

Thoughts of days past

Decisions made

Careless dreams cast

When I was just a child

Selfish motives bled.

Adventure snared my wisdom

Within a cleverly disguised web

No panacea for a curious mind

Longings tossed to and fro
Searching in emptiness for answers

Trading truth, for a deceptive placebo

Sometimes the lessons we learn,

Cost far more than we intend to pay

Freedom lost, broken hearts, a tortured and tattered soul

Dreams quietly die in wait, some are simply stolen away

We have choices to make in our life

To become all we desire to be

I learned the secret, isn’t a secret

And yes, it really does… begin with me.

For you my sweet child, I pray your peace

Learn to trust while still in your youth

Seek the answers within your own heart

It’s there, you will find the real truth
