Breathe deep, new life.
Breathe, thrive, escape the hive.
Breathe and thrive.
Escape the hive.
These gleaming constellations, don’t feel so hopelessly out of reach.
Adrift the whirling vortex, manifestation of all that is and can be.
Fixated on the zenith, my body shudders with energy.
Across this foreign boundary, determination is forging a winding path to endlessness.
My beacon burning brightly, a wonder to behold, against the fleeting darkness of the night.
The snow is falling lightly, I do not fear the cold. The warming glow of new endeavors guiding light.
Stretching horizons unfold a new and perfect fate.
Hand of rule scorched to bone.
Imagine freely, the innate power to create.
The tormentor holds no throne.
Reborn again, ten billion outcomes are calling my name.
The sound communion to my new ambitious heart,
a part to call my own, within my chest.
Beating eternal without rest!
The corpse who bore these chains,
this boundary to transcend.
Subsisting without pain,
persisting without end!
I’m running faster still, no obstacle to bar my path.
What is this warmth within? could it be joy I feel at last?
Breath of life, nourishing my starving soul.
Lift me higher, beyond the remnants of past control.
Learn to walk again without damaged frame.
The unknown awaits for me, beckoning...
beckoning my name.
The great expanse, it dances gracefully, taking my hand.
Its touch assures me that I will not hurt again. No den to detain me.
I’ll dream and thrive. Know what it means to be alive!
The corpse who bore these chains,
this boundary to transcend.
Subsisting without pain,
the means to be alive!
The corpse who bore these chains,
this boundary to transcend.
Subsisting without pain,
Persisting without end.
Wander and create unbound by despair.
Traverse the stars on mended wings,
and plunge to the heart of the forge.
