Enough of being serious.
I've had enough...

I keep my tears in a bottle...

Your talent for control
over elements...

It took me awhile to swallow
you whole but once I could taste...

We all wear masks.
Fortress faces built of smoke...

I realized that I could never have things the way...
The stark reality assaulted my being, smacked me...

I am the eternal hidden diamond.
I can't shine in my shell of a thousand rocks...

Heart, essential part of me,
you work at your own will...

Green, unawakened,
All the questing young...

This becomes the manifestation of remembered...

I am no friend to love.
I owe her nothing...

I want to step right out of this skin I'm in.
Shed the person I no longer want to be...
