The Shattering Truth
The light of the truth heals
But yet it pains my eyes
For as the burning rays
Destroy my perceived ideas
I am overwhelmed by reality
I become conscious and aware
Of the intentions that were
Less than honorable
Shaking my pure foundation
Of child-like ignorance
That the world could somehow
Live up to my expectations
Instead of threatening to crash down
With every false move or mistake
