these are no waters to swim in.

i finally understand,

maybe this is some sort of closure.

my fears remained in the shadows,

until i was ready to overcome them.

well this is now,

and here i stand.

face to face with the insecurities,

that have bound me from the start.

but i wont be restrained anymore.

if there is one thing that these years of anguish have taught me,

it is how to stay alive on a battlefield

ridden with mines and flying shards of metal.

i won't be scared away,

and i won't be humbled.

not anymore.

there's nothing more frightful

then stepping out on a limb,

but these fragile branches have become my home.

and trust them i will

because there's no greater thrill,

than dangling head first from a thread.

if you'd be the bullet,

i'd shoot out the bulb locked in the sun.

freezing over the landscape,

bonding us as one.
