QUEST BEFORE ME
In the morning I wake up my sleepyhead
Walk to the mirror
I find someone else instead
Looking back questioning all I've said
Whose reflection gives pause to disguises shed
Quest before me
Who will I find in here?
Flake off the layers
A faceless voice appears
Invoking wisdom
With words that I cannot hear
I wander aimless
Distracted by flash and shine
Panaceas and snake oil wasting time
Onward searching the true self eludes my gaze
Hang onto things that will help to make me brave
Go easy
Why don’t you now
Go easy
Am I in here? Am I in there?
Am I in here? Am I in there?
