The paths that I once tread have all but gone. Only embers now smoulder where bridges once burned. I feel alive and yet I fear what may happen now. I know I can't return.

And I hear me say again 'oh let me not return'. Damn the illusion of redemption and the hopes that held me here. I will oppose all that would befall me. With this rage inside of me I will defy what I would become.

The solitude and anger that do battle inside me will always guide me to the answers that I know I may not see. They are the bonds that hold me tighter. They are the chains that weigh on me. One day I know they will be gone.

Can I start again and erase this pain by casting doubts into the waters, asking judgement of the sea. Though fortune may guide to the fools I have no wish to be free until I am gone.
