Reflection

(Originally written March 29, 2009)

I reflect on my world
As I sit in my room
It's drastically changing
But I won't say I'm doomed
For to lay down and die
Would be a capital offense
A crime lacking passion
In the most literal sense

Beginning my life
In this dark world
My lips are dry
And my toes are curled
Show me the light
Don't let me drown
Don't let me get lost
Before I've been found

I'm nervous as hell
As the time draws near
The sound of the clock
Is all I can hear
I think to myself
As my heart's going wild
'I wish I could've spent
More time as a child'
I've grown up too fast
But it's all that I've wanted
To prove that I'm strong
The hunter, not the hunted
