What if the world took time to understand
What goes on inside each other’s heart?
Everyone tries in their own way
To tame thoughts and yearnings
Steering ourselves toward appeasement
Forced to hide behind our fears
Building facades of many kinds
But no one is truly confident
We preen an avatar
And send it out fiind the dream
Then cause offenses along the way
While attempting to reach it
Few understand how hard we try
If we stop reaching there’s a void
Is satisfaction a form of defeat?
It may be the goal of the icon
But a heart only wants to be loved
And finding that knowledge carries us
Beyond the anxious drive
Past the persona we present
The Rational Element
