Beyond Self

Strength
Not my own
Will
a man alone
Nothing but a weed
Having gone to seed
harvest undetermined
Love
Faith in disguise
Heart
Only for the wise
Seeing what I can't
From a different slant
Beyond my understanding
Fear
Enemy of truth
Doubt
Prospered in my youth
Stopped before I start
Empty canvass art
Surrendering the castle
Hope
All believe in some
Dreams
Of things to come
The only thing that's free
Other than poverty
The captured cannot believe
