Traditions and Contradictions

Customs and Traditions,

Filled with Contradictions

Feeding only the Egoistic side

Taking you for one hell of a ride

Twisting and turning you upside down

Until all you can do is sigh and frown

Never revealing what’s deep within

Concealing all the places one can begin

To find the true meaning of life

Above all the heartfelt strife

Leaving you wanting, no, demanding more

But the strife is so big you just hit the floor

But when a door is closed a window opens

Inside your heart, if you have so chosen

To reveal the connections to the ones passed away

The’re in your heart waiting to come out and play

Needing only for you to remember

When you love someone it is forever

Forget these customs and traditions designed to make you cry

And remember them in your heart, where likes eagles they fly

Remember the love and hate you had to this day

Lower your head and pray

That through it all you can see within

That there truly is none else beside him
