Glass Onion

I speak my words through onion breath
There’s more to what I say
To see beyond the surface
You must peel the layers away

The outside may look ugly
But dig through deeper down
Have an open mind
Persevere till beauty’s found

I cannot find the value in
Finding something ugly
It seems more easy in my mind
To find everything lovely

Instead of traveling through life
With views so dark and hateful
For every moment we are here
We should be ever grateful

And though we walk through fiery trials
Instead of merely screaming
We should find the good and light in pain
Embrace and cling to meaning
