Validation

Another day of living has shown its face
Beckoning my mind from its sleeping place
Nocturnal thoughts mute my fears
Waking grants my soul fresh ears

Life distracted by senseless commotion
Replaces and distorts essential emotion
Who can say?…Who should know?
Where your essence needs to glow

Do we really listen?… Or perhaps just hear?
The significance of yesterday’s tear
Guidance is sought for justification
Of a soul starving for validation

Another day of dying has washed away
Pacifying life with reasons to stay
Tricks of mind cannot erase
Questions about my time in this place
