From the dark trenches of my soul, a voice echoes
Freedom I yearn, I yearn to explore
Release me heavenward, and watch me soar
Away from my ephemeral throes
Ensconced in my innocent ego lies
A safe haven where my thoughts unfold
The timeless wisdom of the hermit, behold
My inward journey shall end with poise
For the paradise I seek is absolved of sin
My relentless yearning, I leave behind
As I enter the gates of Eden within my mind
For where can paradise be found, if not within?
