Tears
In your eyes
I'm not a bad man
I can only be
Just a man
Broken, but moving forward

Onto a beam of light; I collided
Large impact
Devoid of pain?
Interesting.
Like the flash of lightning
A being stood before me
Hunched over
With tired eyes
Highlighted by malice
Familiar, yet otherwordly
As if it were a busy subway tram--
The Lighter barreled toward me
With one hand
I grabbed it
It wanted to dance
Soon, I grew bored
The rhythm of the Lighter
Took it off, toward the edge
The Lighter had fallen.

Falling
Into the depths
A pitch-black void
Covered in a thin veil of static
Noiseless
Yet defeating in silence
In the distance-
Silhouettes
Falling as I am...
...where am I?

"𝘠-𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮?"
Fire
Otherworldly torment
Animal violence
Skirmishes of death
"No, they did it of their own accord."

Up
On a hill so high
I'd touch the heavens
If my soul could qualify

My mind is broke
To me
Everything is a joke
Must be why I never get along with folk
Laugh
Get back to the studio
Along with the staff
There's no show
Once you forego the status quo
Today we have fun
Until there is none.

Why must I be so downdraught?
Is it the ash in my hair?
Malevolent people?
Ego bigger than a steeple
Calling me sheeple?
Can only be a sheep with a shepherd
The only one we have is predatory:
Leopard
If life is soon to be a myth
Will we be regarded as legends?
Or just a speck in the universes' blessings?
Cosmic blink
From the eye of the divine
Since I was nine
I knew my existence could never be defined.
