Understanding
Tiffany V Beeny 1984 (United States)
Afflictions of the heart will soon desolate the mind
impersonation of the flesh
will deteriorate the spine..
Her devotion to ideas soon
created leaps and bounds
for she would go to many lengths
To keep her love confound..
With emotions like a cyclone
She was bursting at the seams
looking for the answers of what this all could mean..
Indulging in disasters has caused disconnection with her heart
for if she was to free her soul they would have to part..
The answers are not given at her every wim
for if she is to learn a thing she must begin to swim..
Oceans are like mountains you approach them step by step remembering the journey with all the tears you've wept..
