They told me you found Love
In the darkest corners of Hate.
They told me you found Destiny
Within Fate's unyielding gate.
They told me you found Truth
Beneath the masks we wear and play.
They told me you found Hope
Yet for me,it seems to stray.

They told me you found Strength
In moments of darkest Despair.
They told me you found Courage
When life felt too much to bear.
They told me you found Purpose
When direction seemed to fly.
They told me you found Faith
But in me, it's hard to imply.

They told me you found Beauty
In the flaws of this world's art.
They told me you found Compassion
In every wounded heart.
They told me you found Forgiveness
When anger ran so high.
They told me you found Grace
But in me, it seems to shy.

They told me you found Laughter
In the midst of sorrow's tears.
They told me you found Resilience
Through the passing years.
They told me you found Acceptance
In all that you can't change.
They told me you found Freedom
But for me, it feels so strange.

They told me you found Home
In the hearts of those you hold.
They told me you found Belonging
In a world that can be cold.
They told me you found Happiness
In these simple, fleeting moments.
They told me you found Love
Yet within me,it's dormant.
