Bryan Pegram - Questioning the Mind

Are the mysteries of Life two sided?
Like we already know what’s decided.

We all feel an urge inside,
But we walk on a path that will ultimately hide.

What we feel or want to say is mostly kept hidden,
As though our own wants are somewhat forbidden.

We let our fears overwhelm our passions,
And now it feeds it to us in little rations.

Why aren’t we allowed to relish in the feeling,
Why can’t we just be the person we’re concealing?

We know the things that we definitely don’t want,
We can see them clearly in the biggest font.

But the things that we really enjoy,
We view with hesitation not wanting to destroy.

What can we do to bypass this wall?
So that we can live in the moment like the word enthrall.

How can we remove this human trait?
That eats at our soul and changes our fate.

Or is it meant for us to only understand one side?
And use the other as our own personal guide.
