Without it All

The pride of humility
I lost all that I had
To gain so much more – poorly
Insanity, the madness of happiness
The peace, power and pride of light
Light bearing darkness, proud foolishness
Lord knows I must learn what others know
Learn to accept and to love my siblings
Before my heart is again covered in snow

A friendship of happenstance
And a group to change the world
Never accept that it was merely chance
For all played in my hands
Your honesty taught me tolerance
Insanity meets madness and while prudence demands
The game it falls on unwilling ears as my walls are taught to fall
Understanding love is bought
A friendship which is missing a wall

Now with many lessons learned
I recall to you what you do know
WitchAmandamy foolish world upturned
I ignore reason once again
Focus once more on liberating light
Remember the foolishness of men
Hoping friendship will forgive that – such a fool’s pitfall
But now understanding can be wrought between friends
I’ll remember what you’ve taught lest I learn – to live without it all
