I am lost in a space I cant claim with shape shifters playing some twisted little game and I have been pawned into the unknown Far from any sort of counsel With silent watchers eyeing my back Sizing me up to see what I lack As if I've been put to a test I cant tell if I've been granted some sort of pass or sentence As I cling to the fringes of my past Holding onto the false security I never truly had and love is lost in midst of this war Is it myself or someone else trying to settle some score? Is this heaven's gate or the fires of hell? What's one without the other? My skin bloats and swells As the sea lightly salts my skin Will I be eaten alive or am I learning to swim? The question is where I'll go from here Does the path lead to clarity or am I forever caged in confusion?
