Half Measures

So many chances we may never see again

More opportunities to heal and to amend

With thoughts of apathy denial and despair

Attempts to reconcile a life that isn't fair

Imperfect qualities but that's the way it goes

More to this reckoning than anybody knows

Tied to indifference fixated on the worst

Incomprehensible to never finish first

Facing our fears and insecurities inside

The end of ego and a leveling of pride

It's еvolutionary

Grown sick of apathy still draining our resolve

To gauge thе tenor of emotions uninvolved

Seek not to comfort or assuage away the sin

Embracing solitude as clarity begins

I can't believe I missed the ornaments left buried in the past

Simple reminders of dreams that never last

We venture boldly to expose the inner flaws

Ignore the weakness to deny the greater cause

Facing our fears and insecurities inside

The end of ego and a leveling of pride

It's immaterial debating as it goes

When we already know
