_{To the powers
Higher than I can see
Please understand that I
Have tried my best to live in this mortal form
That I,
A simple soul who dreams far past the healthy amount
Have tried
And subsequently failed
To be comfortable in my skin.

I've marked it with red,
Written prophecies spoken to me in my sleep
Amongst my veins
Burned the images of fantasy
Into the pigment
I am not who I want to be
And the reflection frozen before me
I can't stand to look at
But I have tried
As they all have asked me too
I have made many attempts
Not to let the world see the truth in my bones
To conceal
The being I was made to be

It's been difficult and I'm sure you know
My prayers have been constant and frequent
As I tried to become something that please those around me
And here I am
Raising my palms to you in acceptance
Offering you what is left of my sanity
Pleading that you will once more bless me with light
So that I may see the path ahead of me
And quit my dancing in the dark.

P.S: I was going to release myself but
With frequent heartbeats
I was reminded
I am alive for a reason
I've just forgotten it...
