I step through the ashes of mistakes
frozen in the flame of my uprising
burning the map of my destiny into
my heart using the light of my soul
to pave my path while practicing my
weaknesses turning them into my
greatest strengths overcoming the
depression that consumed my
appetite ripping the blinds from
my eyes pulling my reflection from
the mirror becoming one with my past

I build my asylum atop the graveyard
of failed attempts allowing the spirits
to rise and rest in my ears lifting me
through the darkness of the serpents
bite draining the venom from my heart
reviving my pulse motivating me to create
the storm and drive the lightning into
the toxicity cleansing the waste with
a bolt of reality ripping the blinds from
the window feeling the sun warm my
existence throwing rocks at the shards
of the house I destroyed feeling the
comfort of my strait-jacket while
shoveling the dirt with my feet laughing
hysterically at the last...
