You Know Better Than Me

 I risked my life

And injured my soul

When I tried flying without wings.

I wounded my youth

Hazily, escaping through time.

I grieved.

Only because I thought

I knew better than You.

I traveled too far, too long

Only to get into nowhere

Lost and confused

I found myself in the desert of foolishness

Without a sign of hope

Only because I thought

I knew better than You.

When I was trying to catch happiness

I drowned my joy in the river of sorrow.

I have seen, over and over again  

The death of my ambitions through misery

And the torture of my thoughts through sadness.

I suffered

Only because I thought

I knew better than You.

I witnessed time laughing at my sincere efforts 

Viciously, with a hard heart

Dismissing my desires, ignoring my passion. 

My joy swapped with despair 

And my aims with misery

I died

Only because I thought

I knew better than You.

Love was my only remedy. 

That was the end of self, the end of suffering

And the beginning of You

To my being, Roses started to sing  

And to my depth, light began to sheen.

 Then I began to thrive.

Only because I learned

You knew better than me.
