This Is It

This is it
It's my confession
What you see
Is not obsession

The truth, in fact
It's an ancient lurking in my soul
Something re-awoken
Some years ago

I suppose you might think
It's a fixated preoccupation
Especially what's seemingly
An extended duration

It's not as it seems
I'm like a soul in a desert
I thirst,I can't breathe
I physically hurt

You see, for me
It's not some unnatural desire
I know in my spirit
It's what I require

I must keep going
I must finish the races
I can't stop
Til I reach the oasis

It's alright with me
If you don't understand
Just know me and love me
The best that you can

In the very end
I know that I'm right
I've got to be me
And follow my light
