A culmination

It all seems like magic 

It comes in bits and pieces 

I believe I have some kind of sight 

I believe I saw the future

I’m not saying I’ve got it cracked completely

But the black veil has been lifted 

An absolute clarity I’ve never had

I’ve seen what’s ahead 

I say

All is not lost

I say

We take our chances outside

I am the first to admit that 

We are as gifted as they come

I am the queen of every hive

I believe now

What we need is a moment of celebration

And I encourage you all to use your imaginations

Join hands

We’ll need our combined strength 

We have so much options for everything

We have all the answers we seek

I can feel no doubt in me about that

There’s no feeling on earth like it

Developing a sense of style 

When no one was paying attention 

The fire in my belly

And the steel running down my back

I am so much more

Now, give me your hands

We’re ready to begin 

A world of lies

Hello?

Hello, pretty lady

A force to be reckoned with

It’s me

It’s been such a busy day

I forgot you’ve finally found someone you belong to

I forgot you’ve finally found someone to take care of you

Reinvigorated

I’m consumed with regret

I know you don’t want to do anything with me

I hope you understand that this is a rare night

I’ve been trying to reach you

I must confess my nerves do flutter a bit

When I think of all the terrible things I have done to you

The selfish detours I have taken

I’ve been possessive I know

A walking tornado

Diabolical 

I never meant for it to go so far

Or go on for so long

For years after

The parties and the music

And the dancing raged wild outside

While you sat trapped in this house

A vocalization of sympathy 

Aggravating 

I don’t mean to give offense

A woman like you

I would give everything I have

Or will ever have

Just to be with you again

Give you a warm bed

No decrepitude

Forever

It shouldn’t be long now

Fortune

Wealth

Nothing satisfying

I am starving

You’re starving too

I can taste it on you

I will show you 

Show you what you’ve been dreaming of

Make you laugh 

More than cry

It’s exhilarating

I know better

I know better than any of us

All the cracks

All the missing pieces

Will come together

You must have a lot of questions 

I have answers

This is the right time

This is the right place

The right place for you to rise

Rise from the ashes

No playing pretence 

No preoccupation

No self loathing

No pity party

No tears, old boy

Who am I?

What do I do?

Why are they doing this to us?

Just humor me for a while

I just want to feel something

There’s nothing natural about this

No matter how hard I work at it

I never feel special, either

Vultures are waiting

Waiting to strip the flesh from my bones

“Don’t act all biggety", they said

“You’re not better than us"

My instinct is to stay hidden from them

The sun is setting fast

It’s going to be dark soon

I want to reverse the flow of time

Return it to it’s youth

I want to go back in time

Change the history of the world forever

Forget everything I’ve ever known 

Forget everything I’ve ever known about myself

And so it falls to me to save mankind from itself
