Seeing the Future

They ask why I am always dazed…

They ask why I always speak in a frenzy. 

I am not scared of what I’ve unlocked. 

But I do believe that magic is always punished. 

More wakeful-

Equals a more urgent journey. 

My future has become more formed. 

As if I have already lived it.

I suspect that they are all trying to steer me away from the prophecy.

But there is no prison in this world…

That can contain a future so woven.
