Supernova

Celestial Dew in My Eyes
atmosphere of weary sighs
I am My Own Gravity
the source of my tragedy

mortal amongst Perfect Stars
struggling marriage with Mars
He knows War and Clearly Sees
It Rages Inside of Me

A Balance Perched on My Back
I'm Measured by what I lack
these scales are weighing me down
But They keep Me off The Ground

"I'm Libra" Is My Torn Cry,
"And I Am Going To Die!"
For My Burden is My Life
It's all My Joy and Strife

I'll Burn Out on The World's stage
In my Self-Made Gilded Cage
mind you, I am Proud of It
Not Disappointed a Bit

Because it's True Perfection
Bred under My Correction
My Purpose may be Stunted
but, it's All I've Ever Wanted

age reveals flaws and old Wounds
I Can't Live in those ruins
I'd rather Go Young and Strong
than live to be old and wrong.
