Introverted Sage

Fail Safe

If I knew who I was, I would have a better explanation. 
Drug myself through the darkness, trying to find a revelation. 
But all I found was more devastation. Adding to this crippling hesitation. 

The wind blows and my house falls down. 
Shallow pools - just as easy to drown.
Facing myself, I never belonged in that town.
Gasping for air, but couldn\'t make a sound. 

Forces making moves before I accept my fate. 
Times up, already knew, predicted dates. 
Somehow.. my confidence was late. 
Adding more layers. Attracting the hate. 

Lace up my shoes.
Taking everything I have to walk away from the abuse. 
Nothing to lose. 
Everything on my plate, perform, acting and do.
Barely make the destination
Body broken. Ego\'s bruised. 

But I\'m here. 
Sense tells me, I\'ve not much to fear. 
Ancestors whispered in my ear. 
Spread your wings now, the coast is clear. 

Can you feel me near...
