cinders of a past life, roots before the dawn

you thought of your prison as a refuge,

but all you did is drown deeper in your demise.

busy living a life that isn't yours,

lackluster passenger in somebody else's car mourning a worthless dream:

a shell, a puppet, a canvas.

oh creature, can't you see you were never meant to be filled?

so go, throw that match and watch as your cage burns,

and let that fiery desire carry your heart and run towards the stars.

as your tears evaporate, as laughter comes from your breath,

going where no one has ever told, aiming towards the void,

you remember about that wish, the only character you ever tolerated being,
