So he spends most of his life, like most
Living in his cloister, his shell
Withdrawn and cut off from the world
Then one day he has an epiphany
A realization that he needs to open up
He wants to open up, to share
He smashes said cloister and shell
Into little bits and pieces
He evolves
He moves onwards through life
More confident, more secure
Physically, emotionally, intellectually
Traveling this new path
Weary and alone
Preparing what to say
To all of the people he's going to meet
All of the conversations
Emotional, letting it all go
Why not?
He has nothing to hide
He feels energetic
He feels empowered
But when he gets there
There's no one there
Such a long journey
With nothing to share
The path to truth
Enlightenment
Solidarity
Is truly a lonely one
So he sits and waits
All by himself
And you know what?
He's still waiting there
Dedicated to myself...
