Analysis of Searching



Searching to find myself
looking deep inside.
I close my eyes and travel to my past
hoping to reveal the person who I am.
Searching for the answers
asking forgiveness for my sins,
truth can be restraining
trapping goodness thats inside.
Trying to unravel the twisted thoughts I have.
"Unending Revelations"
Hoping to set free
the judgments I cast upon myself
when im meditating deep in prayer.
Searching for some comfort
from my silent reverie
