Mantra

A vision of you there
Standing tall
By the gate

Everything is new
Stare into
What is not
Yet

As your bones grow
And you feel the pain
In exchange

Experiences hang
Run around your mind
And collide

Hang your toes
Over the edge
'Cuz you can

You can switch you place
Hide inside
If you try

You'll open up your eyes
Realize
How you fit
In the wild

A lion is a lion
No apologies
And a leech
Is a leech

In a corral
You're safe and warm
Pass it on to
Every sheep

Time and time again
You skip yourself
To accept
Someone else

Give up the wish
Let go of the dream
Barricades
Fantasy

Burn the dogma
Let the fire
Overtake
The desire

(I will find a way to keep this moment for myself, I will find a way)

To define
What's raging
Out of control
Like a wind
Like a storm
Like a virus
Like an ocean
Like a silence
An emotion
Like a darkness
Like a chance
An idea
Like a verb
Like an outrage
Like a sunrise
Like a monster
Like a mantra

And all of this will never be the same again!
