The Troubles Of The Unknown

Often, we lose ourselves in the uncertainty of what lies ahead of us. Not many people could be considered ''tough'' enough, to cope with the pressure that comes with it. Nevertheless, we need not be the toughest people, a little bit of curiosity, is all we need to be set free.

It is astonishing

The beauty of ambition

Yet an obstacle lies ahead

An enemy of the vision

It feels like you already know yourself

But slowly you are drifting apart

A new challenge occurs

Ready to blow a strike

The melancholy

Of seemingly incurable sadness

Flows like a river

Extinguishing the madness

Where a pioneer finds himself

Struggling in the midst of the unknown

Clarity is what he yearns for

Along a one way road

While many days go by

There lies a journey of new creation

One day it’s vengeance he seeks

The next, it is redemption

His anxiety floats

And his anger unfolds

Like a raging fire burns his wrath

In the bleak cold

Wherever he stands

Everything he will destroy

Whenever he thinks

Of the secret they told

Many know of it

Yet very few accept it

That is of the knowledge he learnt

When the world filled him with hatred
