Coming of Age

Life the fair blue light
To me was quite the sight
Among my world 
There is wonder and laughter and love

Time flowed through my veins 
As I played in the plains
I found myself 
Feeling happy, without any flaw

But then it came to me that I was not enough.
I thought that I would never be strong and tough.
I couldn’t find a way for me to run the rain.
I couldn’t find a way for me to ease the pain.

Like a foreign fable 

Behind those silvery doors
Below those nail bitten floors
I wonder how
We are here, we are now, we were then

My loss of innocence came through
My life which I must pursue 
A coronation 
For my coming of age

Now and then I wonder if I could’ve made a change
My life I desperately wish to rearrange 
I know now that I was born with the perfect flaw
But sometimes I wish I didn’t have it at all.

    It often starts with an innocent mind,
    Where I’m happy and living free,
  • If Only

    If only she knew, as the sun stood ablaze,
    The world she knew would disappear in the haze.
    How long would she dream of water and land?
    How long would she hope for an azure hand?

    If only she knew of the dangers in toll,
