Know the Way

Each morning when you wake... Your mind begins the day

Grasping for a sign... That you will find the way

A world so vast... So out of reach

Longing to understand... What lessons we must teach

So much hurt... So much pain

So much judgment... Said in vain

One step forward... That’s the key

Life goes on... Just let it be

Standard lines... To get you through

The endless task... Of what to do

Searching for... A peace of mind

Something only... You can find

Deep down you know… Good from bad

It's as simple as... Happy or sad

So in conclusion... You must say

I trust myself... To know the way
