Masterpiece

Words do not always describe how I feel
They do not know how to portray yearning
Do not show the progress when I heal
Or even the lesson that I am learning

Music seems to better understand
Perhaps it is more in tune with my heart
Whether I am hollow and empty or feeling grand
Or ready to clean the slate for a fresh start

Yet these lifeless channels I cannot blame
Not when I err was much as I do
And oft times I am the same
Unable to express or even grasp what I am going through

Although if I cannot decide for myself who will?
Should I just wait on destiny's course?
For I have been waiting for quite some time and still
seem to be at a loss

But just as all four seasons make the year
And each colour to the rainbow's essence contribute
So too does each radiant smile and glistening tear
make this masterpiece absolute

Life's experiences are but pressure to the coal
Redefining and are as such sublime
Creating inevitably a beautiful soul
That like diamonds...will come to be in time
