Core

There a fire under my seat

 

forcing me on my feet

 

it’s begging for me to keep moving now

 

.and it’s chasing me

 

i’m running aimlessly

 

into the distantce it follows me now.

 

—and when i start to give up i ignite, like infinite rays of radiant, glowing sun shine. & i’m gleaming with strength, determination swimming through my veins, as i’m blooming in the bright lights.

 

—When i doubted myself i was scared

 

for this journey i felt so unprepared.

 

and now i’ve got my guns, and they’re dusted off, ready for the war.

 

and if i hurt, if i bleed

 

if i start to become weak

 

i can coax out the life that resides in my core.
