|
|
I stand at the edge of the void and I scream
|
||
|
|
"isn't there any hope left for me?"
|
||
|
|
no response, just as I expected
|
||
|
|
just a drop in the sea and my own damn reflection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
something in the water starts to swirl
|
||
|
|
the boat rocks- and I think I might hurl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
all the words I spat up as a babe three years hence
|
||
|
|
before I decided to look over the fence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and as I turn my head to the sky, what should I see
|
||
|
|
but my muses, heads and bodies numbering three
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"we knew what would happen.
|
||
|
|
why didn't you listen?
|
||
|
|
you could have avoided
|
||
|
|
your own perdition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
now get up and start taking life into your own hands.
|
||
|
|
for too long, you've cast your gaze at unattainable lands.
|
||
|
|
your name's not Lucine- or Seliph, or Chiki.
|
||
|
|
what you are comes from inside of you, not from a screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
remember, you don't have to ask permission to *be*.
|
||
|
|
to breathe, to move, to choose what you believe.
|
||
|
|
your name is your own, regardless of those you call 'friends'.
|
||
|
|
damn their approval! it won't matter in the end.
|
||
|
|
those who matter will know when to clap,
|
||
|
|
and the rest will all blow away in the never-ceasing wind like chaff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we know you're penning these words to convince yourself.
|
||
|
|
so as long as you have the reins and your brain's on the shelf:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
you exist, no matter what other people say.
|
||
|
|
you make a mark on the world in your own special way.
|
||
|
|
maybe it's hidden, maybe it's obscure-
|
||
|
|
but unless you live as yourself, you'll never know for sure."
