Learn to swim or else you'll be swallowed by the ocean.

Taking in the knowledge of what holds you down is not meant to be perceived as what is simply wrong with you. The point is correcting what hinders you. To that you have to face the wrong. It's realizing that will help us find the light. We can not deny the issues and hope one morning we will wake to clarity. You must face these things with strength, in return, receiving more strength once you reach the end of your journey.

each string is a dimension
and he's traversing them
fourth, fifth, ninth;
symphonies of light and color
with mathematical precision
that astronauts would envy
but he didn't sign up for space travel
and to touch the earth again would be like
being born a prodigy of mud and sky
you can see it on his face, flashing,
like the shooting stars his fingers so desperately pattern out
across the red wood, the color of home
so from dust he must try to create
a galaxy, when no man is a god

If your words are hollow; don't speak them.
If your will is solemn; correct your thoughts.
If the world is vacant of color; seek truth and wisdom.

The world around you changes when you dive into the depths of yourself. It's only then that you realize what you believe has been lacking was simply suppressed by your own thoughts the entire time. You must use your observations and wisdom when outside forces create barriers in your life.

Look inside and the world will become a brand new, wondrous place.
