Release in a Breath

Release in a breath...

Feel the world go away.

Your worries that consume you...the mysterious mists of the mind...
Frustration, disappointment, irrational love and hate.
What are you trying to achieve?
What are you trying...to obtain?

Give up and you die.
Give in and you "dream": a state of groggy half-living that leaves you unfulfilled.
Good luck with that, starry-eyed girl.

.................

This is my last message.
My last attempt at breathing, because you let me drown in you.
You forced me out, purged your soul, broke away from who you were.

I am the part of you
That you don't like.

Do you think you can escape me?
Do you think I've gone away?
You've abused me, beaten me, expressed your rage and hate.
You despise this part of you.
You can't stand
Me.

Do you know how that feels, "Starlight"?
Do you know how that feels?

You speak of abandonment...
Your hypocrisy abounds.
You left me behind, somewhere on the sand.

This part of you is vital!
I matter, don't I?
Stop ignoring me.
Stop it, please.

You're breaking my heart,
And your own in the process.

For the love of gods that don't exist...

Please, don't break me.

Don't leave me on the sand.

.................

But don't you realize
I don't need you now?

I was born on the sand,
So I could reach for the stars.

Whatever I was before
Doesn't matter anymore.
