Re-Embodiment

Oh, how a world could be

Had I never gone away

Had the world never turned dark

Had night never replaced day.

For I was different:

New, Smart, Inspiring

Beautiful how I was,

But I could not continue to sing.

For my voice was barely there

A small whisper in the wind,

But the wind stopped blowing

My whisper could not send.

For my mind was riddled with wrongs

Dreams made nightmares

And upside wrong became right

I could not handle the unneeded stares.

New, Smart, and Inspiring I may be,

But I was not necessary

I just filled a body

I was only temporary.

So I took myself

And as the story goes

The body was gone

And I floated to where only God knows.

For I did not fill that body anymore

I could do nothing there

I wanted to be more

Than a concerning scare.

For I lived above

Above the city light

Among the clouds

Where I could shine bright.

But I could not stay above

I was needed below

To fill a new body

With mind and soul.

Oh, how the world will be

When I come back from away

When the world turns light

When night becomes day.
