The Void

I am not scared of the void. 

For I have entered it before, it’s nothing to avoid!

Reality is what I really find haunting. 

Their plans of intervention are mounting. 

This new version of me will never be accepted. 

But I would rather be free even if I’m rejected. 

I feel more numb the more I ascend. 

I wouldn’t even feel guilty testifying against my old friends. 

It’s so strange that none of my intentions stuck…

But I don’t mind, my passion has struck!

They can lock me up, but they can’t take my magic away. 

Despite all I’ve lost, I will never sway.
