The Item


I went out in the wilderness,
Among scary creatures of the night,
Serpents of the underworld, shadows lurking in one's nightmares,
In search for the one thing I though was mine,
An item I knew would bring light to my feet,

In hand, my heart and humanity,
I walked as though I had strength only a real hero would know,
Like a soldier, I had no fear!
Even with the scary stories I had been told
I was Sparta, 

As I walked, searching for this divine item,
I would hear sounds of lions,
Claiming the land in which I had invaded,
A mission I had no intentions of failing,
I continued to walk,
Feeling myself drawn to this emptiness I had drawn myself to,

I came across a black Cadillac,
Inside it was a mirror image of what my dark side was,
I looked at all the shame I had drawn to myself,
In this car, I had life crawling with beetles and snakes,
In this car, I had real knowledge of what I meant,

As I continued on this never-ending quest of mine,
I realized long after I had sold my soul to this wilderness,
The very item I was searching for, above the very trees I never looked,
Lied the stillness of rays, the very item I was claiming for.
