Power of Nothing (7/30/23)

Don't fucking touch me

You know I want to be alone

So why must you continue to hurt me?

This place isn't home

I belong to no one nor nowhere

Yet I find a bit of myself in fragments of everywhere I go

I wish things were different

I wish for a daydream that doesn't fail me

I am meant for nowhere

I'm all I need

But there must be somewhere

Though I may not be in this town

Ever again

Haven't you heard?

There is a place

Another place

Another time

Another life

For me

There is a place

Where skies are blue

The clouds are the perfect shade

The sunset saturation satisfies everything I ever wanted

And with it, my dreams are engulfed

So I'm thankful it's the last thing I see

The last thing I need

The final dream

I though I could escape this way

But it was just thinking that led me astray

Asking myself where to go is the infinite inquiry

Nowhere is for me

All I need to be

All I've ever dreamed to be

There are tears in my eyes

I'm amongst the sky

There is a place

Where clouds are made

The sky paints the world with baby blue

A color all too familiar

All too faint from my eyes

I've seen many airspaces

And shaken foreign hands

I belong to nothing

All has been well

All has fallen

Yet for merely me I am to rise

There is somewhere in nowhere

Though I haven't heard from Heaven in a while

How could the sky be so beautiful with nothing to offer?

Is this the nothingness I am meant for?

There are tears in my eyes

My gaze is tired

Trials are on my mind

Lies and fields of forlorn fragments

Of all I once was

And all I must rise to be

I am my own place

I find myself in paradise

When with myself

I find myself in paradise

And I find paradise within me

Is this what power is?

Maybe even the most powerful of men are puppets bound by tattered hearts and hopes and strings

Do they wish things were different?

I am power

But is this what I have always wished to become?

I am a wish

I was the future

I am power

Slash the hearts of the enemy

Death to the puppet masters

I'm here to claim my crown

I want my life

I have a kingdom

This place is mine

There is a place

I am power

Don't come any closer

Bow down to your worst nightmare

Your best daydream

The enemy of your last hopes

Stay the fuck away from me

This place is mine

I am power

I am free

From all you ever wanted me to be.
