You frivolous heart, what bounds you break, You torturous mind to inflict such an ache, Have you not learned nor felt the sting of such thought? That weaves its new pattern, for a new mind to wake. The wondrous onslaught of untried design to take hold, As a fresh pair of eyes perceive a new pathway, bold, Wait, yet you know this world brave and new, Spoken of, no, lived in a story once told. Are we creatures of pattern and rigid confines? Or do we linger, intently, at the edge of hope's hard lines? Oh ineffable conquest, unfathomable veil, My courage waning in the shadow of bleaker times. Though elusive, a way I am able to see, Its evading nature forcing a strain upon my mind and me, Am I free to escape this passionless pit? Relinquish fear and abandon what was once identity?

Identity
You frivolous heart, what bounds you break, You torturous mind to inflict such an ache, Have you not learned nor felt the sting of such thought? That weaves its new pattern, for a new mind to wake. The wondrous onslaught of untried design to take hold, As a fresh pair of eyes perceive a new pathway, bold, Wait, yet you know this world brave and new, Spoken of, no, lived in a story once told. Are we creatures of pattern and rigid confines? Or do we linger, intently, at the edge of hope's hard lines? Oh ineffable conquest, unfathomable veil, My courage waning in the shadow of bleaker times. Though elusive, a way I am able to see, Its evading nature forcing a strain upon my mind and me, Am I free to escape this passionless pit? Relinquish fear and abandon what was once identity?
