The only light I trust is in my vision,
I shut out all the noise that I now despise.
I guard my old beliefs with strict precision,
and screen the world that stands, here before my eyes.
My soul is guided by a pure ambition,
to find the truth that I can best recognize.
I feel no doubt or any cold division,
for in my heart the only daylight now lies.
