Trials

Again and again i struggle with my
Shortcomings my strength my soul weary
Of this i have to face the pain of my fault
Within these tests these trials the marks
I miss what do i gain what is the benefit
Of self-indulgence the darkness reveals
Itself i must commit to absolving it my fault
My weakness torments myself why should i

Sacrifice my dignity the purpose of these
Trials holds peace for those that seek it
The secrets of wisdom truth and life to
This one must look what does it profit a
Man to release his will to that which tries
This soul a test a trial a blessing in
Disguise offered to all that ask in time
It shall be revealed beyond that which
Is seen beyond a man's understanding
