I am here
Encased in flesh and pain
A temporal Beacon that bares my name
The past, the future, the here and the now
Like a kiss blown from a lovers lips
Or the wind that blows the autumn leaves around
It matters not
It’s all the same
I began but will not end
Like my mind that dreams
My soul that speaks
My heart that loves will love again.
I am here
Trapped for now in bone and blood
But soon my time will come
And my wings will set me free
Releasing me
from human bonds
To live how,
And where,
And when I want
And let the real me shine.
I’ll leave behind
The Pain, the tears
The debilitating fears
The insecurities that paralyze
The jealousy that never dies
I’ll leave it all behind
And take with me the one thing
The only thing I ever needed
A memory
