A Promise Sung Of Somewhere Else
Euphoria
A promise sung of somewhere else
a journey we must take
finding out who we reflect
the final, grand escape
Courage is the driver
faith is in it for the ride
the ultimate survivor
the coming of the tide
The pounding rhythm of a beat
chance and circumstance at bay
standing firm on steady feet
solid stone formed out of clay
Approaching our becoming
the path before us marks the way
both curious and stunning
the promise of a brand-new day

More Than Being Unknown
I hold myself in bed at night, grasping and pulling at my skin. Frantically tugging and pinching it tight, so that nothing and no-one gets in. I'm at a loss of imagining, what parts of me might be exposed, if the skin came to be unshackled, exonerated and decomposed. Would I be condemned to ruins dissolving into a puddle of waste, exposing down to the transparent core, the imposter that I have disgraced.

The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.
