Metamorphose
A fabrication forged by fear
A fading message held so near
“Thou shalt not become inclined
To undermine the truth inside”
Settling the dark below
Juxtaposing with my soul
Frustration and a pain unknown
Too terrified of letting go
Encumbering to see the signs
Unable to finally make the climb
A destination never planned
Is burying me in its sand
A fealty born not of love
Afraid to ever push and be shoved
“Thou shalt never raise thy voice”
This silence giving me no choice
Breaking through the great below
The contradicting, burning soul
Reconfiguring its truth
It must find its love, and find the proof
The weight of letting go of all
Within there stands a mountain tall
A destination never planned
Will place the map in to my hand
