How the Universe Works Or So I Thought

In my quest for freedom, I bound myself even more.

In my quest for redemption, I committed more atrocities.
In my quest for forgiveness, I did more evil.

All I wanted to do was change the world for good, but I ended up causing more damage.
The soul I wanted to heal, I corrupted.

I craved joy, all that came was sorrow.

Then I seek death.

I seek death, life came knocking.

I now know how the universe works.

I threw knowledge, I found happiness.

I seek war, and war came.
I seek sorrow, and sorrow came.
I caused damage, the effect was more damage.

I knew how the universe worked or so I thought.

There are anomalies in the universe, there are exceptions in nature, sometimes what you seek comes, sometimes the opposite comes, but in all things prepare for the worse, expect, hope and pray for the best.
