Chapter 19 - Metamorphosis

I don't even know where to begin

The time before my understanding of the first sin

Right here where it all began, iam barely holding onto something thin

A thin memory of happiness a vague faint touch of pleasure on my skin

" You have forgotten yourself" someone said from within

A small ray of ember inside of me started to spin

It felt like a champion loosing and yet raising his chin

It felt like I found my long lost twin

Or like a proud parents grin

Where has this been

A symphony of a lost violin

It's strings delicate in a rhythm Asking

Asking about the wreckage of my own wall of Berlin

I started to recall my past

A time when I thought everything will perminantly last

That it will be same with, a stable wooden mast

Carrying my sails to help me outlast

Outlast the storm of the sea that held me in its arms, aghast

Now I scream in silence for it all not to go that fast

I do remember those days

when i was not bothered by other's gaze

i never had to think of what others thought about my ways

It is still my mind the one who betrays

I constantly thinks about the greats, what were they?

A formless form of hope or just another one of the souless display

Were they Carved in the image of perfection of today?

Or will they will also get rejected when they can't fit the mould in the next play

Cast aside by the other actors made of clay

It's a funny thing they call time

The constant twisting and turning in its sign

Why was I never able to draw a line

A line between my consumption of pleasure and the love for the divine

Will I ever find something that's so sublime

That it takes away all my worry and help me dine

Dine on my identity and the innate shine

Or am I supposed to suffer like a prisnor worth even less than a dime

When did I become like this, numb to the law

Why do I keep seeing the beauty in the dead and in the greats a flaw

I also want myself to be on the list they draw

A canvas from which others withdraw

Not by someone whose hands are uncertain and they have to redraw

But rather by someone whose consumed by my awe

Even if they have sharp claw

They use it to smoothly change me like a soft paw

In the end iam me

Even if I want me to be or not to be

Maybe this acceptance is only way iam free

Like a weak dangling branch of the dead tree

A small drop of water ,insignificant yet the part of the great sea
