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
