A seed of hope was planted
In a life full of despair
The dream of a golden future
In a world that had no care
Arcadia of pleasure
Euphoric days await
A heart that beats with joy again
My dreams they can relate
Almost an addiction
Obsessional desire
Sacrificing all I can
To light that perfect fire
Ignoring those around me
Focusing what’s here
Immersion in the better life
Removing yesteryear
Yet paradise is lonely
Confined to lonely realm
Ignorance can blind the sight
The dark can overwhelm
Two sides to every story
The darker side of light
A sun that sets forever
Entwined with darkest night
Reality surrounds me
Choices to be made
Give up everything in hope
Don’t let the fortune fade
Decision time is looming
Life’s path has split in two
Countdown to the answer
Of which I must pursue
