          Never convinced I've been,
          my sights were knives or ghosts;
          to pass through souls alive or dead,
          and get acquaint proposed;
          for thinking always blind me;
          maybe for only worse,
          maybe for better even,
          invest allowance first;
  
          for dearly, I'd want
          a deep dive in souls;
          may shallow be or ocean deep,
          for inside's best be known;
          not insights of the outside,
          not plastered thread of words,
          even those painted portrait fade
          the colors blurred by hurts;

           but conversations work
           unlikely from before;
           my trust believes not much today;
           for we know what's adored;
           still, words shower though,
           and pour whatever lures,
           or daggers for curiosity
           that'd kill me rest assured;

            the truth of one's my trophy;
            my medicine, my cure,
            for doubts have dried my circuit blood,
            but truth shall save what's yours;
            but dive in too my falls and rivers
            and lamp my lightest void,
            inside my faith for poetry
            does seek too earthly joys.
