(Un)Attainable

The Truth is not to be found.
I seeked it out, this was so true.
How could I decode this whole existence?
Not possible, although tried till I's blue.

It wasn't the ends which made it golden.
The finish line was never shown.
I struggled through the thick and thin.
All was done, and thus I've grown.

It's not what's mine what makes me, me.
This would seem like common knowledge,
However so simple, it wasn't clear.
It took me awhile to finally acknowledge.

Now that I know that it's all in the mind.
I am now free from the imprisoned culture.
"What happens now?" is what I often ask.
It's all up to me to determine my future.

Virtue or sin? What will it be?
Anything to hinder will never be fancy.
I've been there an I don't agree.
It isn't the way I want to be.

To me, the choice seems almost simple.
It's the means which confuse me so.
How do I live a virtuous life?
It's in the strife which makes me whole.

Is there a god, and will he smite me?
I haven't thought of that since I was three.
It is irrelevant I've come to see.
I am here to "be all I can be."

Help others along in their journey,
Enlighten others to decrease mistakes.
We are all here to help each other.
It's not helpful to eat all the cake.

Open your mind and don't be a sleeper.
The truths are known, just dig a lil deeper.
It will be painful, this is quite certain.
You'll become free, off comes the curtain.
