I've been building
an army of rejected souls
with every face I turn away
with little more 
than a vacant smile-
I can't help being here, 
being me, in this place-
where there is little else
that I have been able to 
hold on to for long.

I have always existed- 
synchronized to the pulse
of those hearts that beat 
too near to mine- and if only
for a brief moment, I have known
what it is to see myself
in everything- to understand
that all the rules, and all 
the things that they would label
just, or right, are only lies...

yes, this is a matter of opinion.

But I won't watch this time,
as everything around me fades, 
and I won't wait this time
for everything I know to dissapear 
and become as if it never was... 

this time, 
I am only here to learn-
so that tomorrow
I might better explain
my reasons for this gift... 

I have long since gone away-
and my motivation lies silent
beneath the forgotten crown.
