New Cycle

As night draws in, silently obsessed The concept of greatness, to be best is the quest to which I aspire through passion on fire Ascending ever higher Dream ends, hit plateau Now I'm sinking low When will my wings kick in How long till I will mend Too many questions I must ask In supreme knowledge I yearn to bask Am I a genius? Nay, I am but flesh A mind so heinous A tangled mesh Above the flames the phoenix will rise Reset the cycle, relight my eyes And yet still I will despise A life spent seeking without reprise A life too short, without the lies Couple of bad ones, no alibi Look closely, for signs of life And when I move on, no time to cry A new beginning to add to my Cycle
