The winds of change blow through my hair a simple remainnissance Like the memory of human touch on soft skin Like the compiled guilt of sin Surrounded by expectations and failed attempts The chapter cannot be ended without lifting the quill Such a fire like this cannot be started without the tense wood The light cannot turn on without a thousand tries And even a suicide cannot occur without a craving to die This is not a white flag nor a It is rekindling what was once lit Putting my skills to the test Because change cannot happen for those who do not persist

The winds of change blow through my hair a simple remainnissance Like the memory of human touch on soft skin Like the compiled guilt of sin Surrounded by expectations and failed attempts The chapter cannot be ended without lifting the quill Such a fire like this cannot be started without the tense wood The light cannot turn on without a thousand tries And even a suicide cannot occur without a craving to die This is not a white flag nor a It is rekindling what was once lit Putting my skills to the test Because change cannot happen for those who do not persist
