Vision 20-20

I haven't yet discovered
the weight within my chest
while it always grounds me
it also holds me back

feel the metal tang
a taste that cuts like glass
I went looking for an answer
and fell into the past

a ride to the inevitable
a milky black disguise
and how I used to assume
the world was in your eyes

now I know the truth
it's only seen
through mine

vision 20-20
but, don't get up to close
the further you are looking
the greater and the most

spread wings
and anchored heels
velocity strikes back
and all that I can do right now
is wait for the attack

I feel the inner rising
the outer failing knell
the weight can't hold my fire
erupt
erupt
I will.

To Begin

You can speak freely
the commentary's fine
it flows straight through
my atmosphere
illuminates my mind

I'm not sure how to feel
the wind blows
a chill
yet, the sun
on my skin
makes me think
maybe,
I'll just stay still

The warmth engulfs my being
as a shiver shakes my skin
As if I may be ending
Right as I begin

Who guesses where life takes you?
A shifting shaking path
Right as I'm stepping forward
the surface rocks me back

Am I to learn a lesson?
Did I leave something behind?
Will you stay here with me?
Will I change my mind?

The warmth caresses
over me
sinking into my frigid skin
Could it be that I am ending?
Just simply to begin?
