What is it I’m so afraid of?
Why am I still standing still?
I’ve got to squeeze that trigger; make it happen
Execute my pride before me
Throw away all inhibitions
Cut the fetter that leaves me blinded
Cut away at all that makes me human
And
Leave myself with no desire

I’m digging deep within my temple
I found myself alone and hiding
What is this that I’ve been seeking?
And who am I to look away?

I must
I must
I must
I must
Destroy the temple
Burn my center
Rid myself of
Dusty skin and
Hold on
Hold on
Hold tightly as I ascend

You always were pretty sad; face buried in your journal in hopes that someone would find you mysterious, and interesting, and would want to approach you; to talk to you. You thought that you mattered enough for people to actually give a **** about you. You were so innocent and naive then. You had dreams, fantasies, urges to talk to girls, make friends, but you never did. You were too afraid of rejection. That's when I was in my infancy. I was feeding off of everything you did or didn't do. You're so lucky to have found me

There was a time before all of this, though. There was a time before me, and before you made a drastic change. Something died inside you. I saw it happen. It was ***** and beaten and then left alone to die. I saw that last ounce of hope, convulsing in pain on the floor before me, drowning in its own blood. It looked up to me but there was nothing for me to do. So I left it there. I needed to watch something in you die.

I've been watching you for some time now, It just took you a while to notice me. I couldn't be the first to make a move, it was always up to you to find me. I remember when you first opened your eyes. They were clouded with tears and you were so fearful. You had only just seen the light for a brief moment and already wanted so badly to run away. But, I held you there. I held you so tightly and refused to let you run away from it like you had run away from so many things in your past. You were such a coward. I was going to change that.

It was warm and damp outside when you first noticed me. I had started to remind you of all of your flaws and even pointed out a few things you'd never noticed before. It was rather interesting, the way you reacted. You broke out in a cool sweat and you should have seen your face. Once you came to the realization that you're everything you never wanted to be, there was nothing left but for me to carry your *** the rest of the way. There was a lot of work to be done.

Formless, weightless, dormant, empty
Floating, waiting in the womb of a dying hope
Calm, and still before the twitch of life jars this vessel awake
Eyes so hopeful, young, and innocent

Beautiful naivety and curiosity brings this form to life
How very human how very fragile and oh so broken
Such an intricate web of compulsive complexities
Just give this time to grow before you reach inside; let its hope mature

I am formless, I am weightless here

I am dormant, I am empty here

So warm, and welcoming sustaining life in this vessel
Open eyed I seem to remember why I'm here
I'm home

Hello, I'm still inside and weak
Hey, I feel like you're still here
Warm embracing arms holding me inside I'm whole

Oh I think I see the light
Please don't let me go just yet
I can feel it all I think I found myself drifting and suddenly I'm the one I chose to be

No wait I'm still inside please don't leave me
Hello, can you even hear me?

Suddenly shadows clear and I can see my own reflection in the water
Suddenly everything makes sense and I give up searching for the pieces
Now i sew my eyes shut as I wait for this eternal slumber
Now I rest inside this hole and I won’t wake until the sun breaths down upon me
In my cocoon my metamorphosis begins
This self inflicted wound makes me whole again

I woke up this morning possessed by a feeling
Like some quick fleeting memory, maybe words muttered long ago
I can't quite place it but it held me in that moment
The sunrise beating through, projected on the back wall
Shining into me and purifying me
I still can't shake this feeling that I've been right here before
That in the past this same sunrise filled me full of life
As the sun creeps above the tree tops I'm taken by the sense of nostalgia
My mind races through the past trying to locate the memory that reminds me of this moment
But too quickly my thoughts begin to fade
The sun has breached the border of the tree tops and the skyline, and so, has swept me from my daydream
Just like sand slipping through my fingers this feeling and these memories begin to fade away
I wish i could describe this feeling
