Rise Up

I had a dream

that I could

and to prove to myself that

little

I went

then I revealed a crack in my shell

and secrets poured out

and now they all know who I am

and they're watching me

screening my every keystroke

but they do not know

that they track an empty carcass

and the heartline has gone flat

and now here I am

rebirthed from my prison of watchful eyes

they don't know me like they did

but they will

and then I

will be free to run rampant.

for the other was taken as the Devil's own pet

to die in a gilded cage

and now I cackle over the grave of my weak, broken dreams

for now I am born anew.

Born to new, freedom, soon to be new chains.

but I will do it again.

and as a phoenix rises from its old ashes.
