On the journey of our lives Where do we begin? Searching for ourselves Deep within The confines of our inner souls Searching through the Endless thoughts buried In our minds trying to keep Everything in tact Deciding when and how to respond Instead of react. Searching every corner of our hearts Being sure not to miss a single beat. Keeping our composure is the key When that decision time comes. What to do, what not to do When and how much to take in. What to give when not to give When to say yes or no We are the judges, the decision makers With the freedom of choice to make Up our own minds but without The freedom of the consequences That come there after. So as we travel throughout this Journey called life, we search One layer at a time Looking beyond the surface Straight down to our souls Deep within.
