Breathing Fire

these straying thoughts cast a cycle of selfish intuition
unaware, I am the author that chants these words
existing in isolation
I give a part of me for an unknown level of uncertainty
knowing when to place every emotion on hold, grasping at who I am as a matter of urgency
heavy rain, feel the pain, endure all the same
I feel their hold, every ounce of pain
cruel shadows dance in the dark, bounding to leave their mark
the truth can’t be told, it has to be realized
I feel no connection to anything at all
Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become

I’m breathing fire, by this point, it’s barely hurting
these altercations are far beyond deserving
every bridge built is destined for burning
you’ll never know the truth when distracted from learning
I feel no connection to anything at all
Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become
As I lose Direction, there’s no sign of emotional connection
Something’s killing every piece of me, I lose reality
for the first time, I stare into the sky
the stars align, I know it’s not my time
Time ticks on and is takes a hold, I feel release as I break the mold
What you have found can never be told, you’ll live your life out in the cold
I feel no connection to anything at all
Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become
As I lose Direction, there’s no sign of emotional connection
Something’s killing every piece of me, I lose reality
for the first time, I stare into the sky
the stars align, I know it’s not my time
