Words You Will Find
With the years not yet lived
to determine what’s right
You fake it with documents
that block out the light
With experience weak,
and its lessons still thin
Your words only scold
venting anger within
What you want is in sight
though beyond your best reach
And the trophy you hunt
lost in dreams where you weep
But your tears leave a trail
and your anger a sign
For the truth to reach out
—and whose words you will find
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
