Will power...
That which strengthens us?
or that which isolates us?

Adjustment...
That which comforts us?
or that which crushes us?

Lies...
Told to fool our own?
or told to protect our own?

Dreams...
Do they sustain us?
or do they destroy us?

Tears...
Those in which we drown?
or those which keep us afloat?

Poetry...
That which is the cure?
or that which is the disease?

Silence...
Inner tranquility, calm serenity?
or mute acceptance of stark reality?
