Revival

Revival

The flames still burn hot, although now a different flame.
The negative voices in my head, can no longer put me to shame.
It’s my time to rise up from the ashes and rediscover my claim to fame.
Have I fallen down a few steps, or still on top of my game?
Will this be a whole new world to explore, or more of the same?
However, when the sun finally sets on me, you will know my name!
I’m back from the edge of darkness and defeat, that I proclaim.
Will I be as vicious as ever, or begin to go tame?

A long dark road has swallowed my essence whole.
Trying to conquer even a single line has taken its toll.
Ideas swirl and mix before disappearing down a dark hole,
but the war is ending and I’m regaining control.
Breathing life into words is now my only goal.
Grab ahold of me tight and let’s go for a stroll.
Stare deep into my eyes and you will discover my soul.
It’s at peace now and no longer burning in coal.

A fiend with red menacing eyes stares from the shadows,
growling angrily because he knows,
a threat to me he no longer represents.
Unraveling his entire kingdom is now the opposition I present.
Dare fuck with me my entire life,
now watch in horror as I turn on you the goddamned knife.

Peace has taken over my mind and soul.
Fear and chaos are no longer in control.
My heart beats strong and longs to feel love again.
The sun shines bright, gone are the years of rain.
Wrap your arms around me tight, don’t fucking let go!
I love the thought of you more than you can ever know…
since in my life you don’t yet exist.
But one day in the future this will turn into a love story with a twist
because instead of basing our relationship of short term passion and a hot tryst,
we will connect at the soul and join our hearts,
combine our entire essences instead of one single part.
You are out there my love; I can feel you.
Come find me and share with me your love since I’ve now pieced myself back together using only the strongest glue.

My revival has begun and this time it’s personal,
like my art has always been but this time a little more purposeful.
Maybe not so educational,
but definitely more inspirational.
Versatile,
Surgical,
Irreplaceable,
Art is meant to live on far past our expiration.
