My Voice Now Strong and Clear
I am inevitable, impenetrable, inexorable And you are in trouble To go toe to toe with me, You’ve never fought a foe like me. You dare to tussle? Don’t tear a muscle Throwing down with me. I am persistence made manifest, This is the man you test, Man you best prepare all you can muster And don’t hide behind any flare or bluster. I’m coming for you, don’t forget, And it’ll be over soon, don’t you fret. I am the light that pierces the dark, I am a promise, like Noah’s ark. You should’ve known to steer clear, For I am the dream that nightmares fear. Make no mistake: I am not the hand of justice. I am its fist And you just kissed Your last chance to say goodbye. I’m saving this last dance for you and I. Ding ding, let’s get ready to rumble And witness the way the cookie crumbles. I am going to crush you And throw you into the wind Because my heart is the strongest It has ever been.
I see a girl who wants just happiness, Living in a world where she must witness The hand of fortune pass over her. There she stands like class is over, But she hasn't got the grade she wanted. I see a girl who gives me just happiness, Well, when she isn't already on my nerves, But I love her the same and kinship serves, For she is faithful, flying, and free, And on the path never to have strayed. One day she'll sit under her own fig tree And no one shall ever make her afraid. Until then, I wish her only one thing: Just happiness.
My golden-locked maiden, Your beauty, never fading, Whose gilded hair glows Like the first blink of dawn Whose azure eyes flow Like the first kiss of the sea, Don’t you see, Just how much I love you? I thought the world took Everything from me, But lo, you have given Everything to me. You make me fearless And I help you fear less. You are worth all that it takes, Even if all we make Is love and mistakes. I’ve been beaten, broken, Convicted by fate’s jury, But for my cricks and cracks You are my kintsugi. My love has lost many wars, But whoever I am, whatever is left It is all yours.
It’s bright today, as bright as can be And in your arms is where I feel free, Together, locked forever, you and me. I took her hand and her whole life too In order to make our burning love true. I gave you everything I had, I wanted to believe That I was the one and you would never leave. We’re a mosaic of broken pieces and stolen parts, Which, at the end of the day, could fly, But you can love someone with your whole heart And still have to say goodbye. I feel as though a careless whisper weaving Through the symphonies of fate to reach your ear. I feel as though a forbidden kiss sailing Through the tides of destiny to reach your lips. My heart booms with the joy of creation, Its sacred beats rumble with purpose, And while the slings and arrows Of misfortune and missteps miss us, We are a bond that cannot be. We are a pair that cannot go on. Just because there is love Doesn’t mean you belong together. Just because there is love Doesn’t mean it’s right. There comes a day I meet one
It’s dark tonight, as dark as it gets And on her is where I put all of my bets So that at last fate may clear all its debts. She took my hand and my whole life too In order to make our burning love true. You bathed in our love and took every last grain, But something died that night, and I am what remains. I had to sell my soul across every square mile And I sold it so. I asked the universe for a fair trial And it told me “No.” I feel as though a speck floating Against the fabric of meaningless infinity. I feel as though a blemish roiling Beneath the tapestry of purposeless eternity. My heart quakes with the ire of severance, Its wretched beats heave with torment, And while I seek every last distraction From the threads that are ripping And the knots that are slipping, I know that my pain is gravity. I must feel it. I have lost the world. And the void left by a world lost Pulls like a black hole, Ripping every shred of light Into its grasp. It’s dark tonight. As dark as it gets. I
I want to surrender. I want to be free Of the love that Anchors me To the depths. To the void. I want to be free Of the breaths that Keep me here In the darkness. In the pain. I want to surrender. The night never ends. The sun never rises. I reach, but I fall. I rest, but I bleed. There is nothing left For me. There is nothing left Of me. Bring me the end To my suffering. I want to surrender. Help me.
For what felt like five minutes of my life, You were the one. And you were everything: My breath, My light, My eternal downfall. I don’t regret a single moment of my life That led me to you. All the triumphs. All the tribulations. They gave me you: My love, My heart, My eternal downfall. I’ve never been allowed to exist. No, instead I persist. I live a persistence, Always an insistence, Forever a resistance. My world. My life. My eternal downfall. I may not be able to outrun the momentum of fate, But I can sure as hell fight it. And I may not be able to read my destiny, But I can sure as hell write it. I am persistence made manifest, I am valor personified, And I am everlasting rebellion. You may have been my eternal downfall, But I am my eternal deliverance.
In the eye of the storm there is silence And I am the form that is violence. You mean to wash me away, to bury me, But instead you'll watch me stay very me. Your wrath is frightening, but also a blunder. You want to ride the lightning? Be ready to reap the thunder. For when I am risen, I never back down, And no tempest or tide will ever make me drown. I can be brought low, but never defeated, You take your shots slow, leaving me cheated. But mine is a will that is always unstoppable. And your victory is one that is always improbable. Who am I inside? I chose to be the squall. Beware your pride, it goes before the fall.
