// leading me to see i can be more than i expect of me //
ARENA
before me plays the endless film
relentless spinters i recall
each living thing breathes life
only sentiment remains
to liquid born, from patterns formed
the sand descends with blind intent
where the river takes me will in time be revealed
i cannot turn my feelings down
beyond my means to turn my thoughts around
expressed in every word i will ever speak
brighter than all the stars combined
more than the waters, earth and sky
all that i wish and all that i dream
no creed on earth can replace or provide
in my darkest hour, the comfort i'd feel
leading me to see i can be more than i expect of me
my beinning and my end
the first and last air that i breathe
more than the sum of everything that i will ever be
above the waves with my hands raised
dare the wind, lay claim to me
knowing somehow none could take me
watching the sun come up in vain
the only reason i can find why i remained
the need to leave the point i came to again and again
it didn't matter how hard i tried
it took so long to claim that i knew how
or what it meant to let go of this
to ever say goodbye
call it destiny, call it fate
chose my direction : running forward
each life to learn anew, whatever may come

MY BEGINNING...
i cant explain the way i think, feel, and the things that i say and what i mean. i really can't. i cannot turn my feelings down. maybe in time all will be revealed but what i want out of life is to just be. just be myself and feel and exist and just... revel in everything that is. i'm not sure what got me to this point or why i'm even here but i know i can't linger. i must move on always traveling forward to another point that i won't completely understand. the need to leave the point i came to again and again.
i think there's one thing that i've learned and it's that i know how to say goodbye but not forget. (or so i tell myself)
all that i wish and all that i dream. so there it is. everything combined and i'm still here, without a reason why that i'll accept. i don't think i need one. whatever may come. there's always tomorrow, there's always more feelings, more faces, more tears, more laughter, more pain, more love, more joy, more light, more thoughts, an eternity of eternities that i'll feel and experience.
leading me to to see i can be more than i expect of me
the first and last air that i breathe
