Burning Light Within
Motivation
To burn through boundary
To escape, transcend
Spark with intense capture
Nurtured within a strong spirit
...I will move mountains to obtain it
Imagination
To decipher from illusion
To create your will for imprint
Ideas that affect and strengthen change
The Drive for the unusual to prevail
...I will create meaning
Desire
To want the up-most; the best
To push limits in seek of greatness
A cry out for consistent Euphoria
A push that never stops feeding
...I will become a great thinker
Valour
To stick to your true character
To hone the light inside
A wish to see where you truly stand
A pledge to make real the doubtful
... I want to be even stronger
Belief
To put your character to the test
To see through intangible efforts
A fight to the death of notions
A persuasion of mind, matter, and circumstance
I believe whole-heatedly in this

Believe In Trust in Time
Time is a funny source of comfort; One of the wisest Mentors
It is always there to aid through the consistency of change
It can stretch your personal boundaries
It is able to push you to conquer your darkest fears
Always on your side; just point in your optimal direction
The present is your future past, where opportunities are often granted
The wind beneath the wings of motivation
Inspiration and depression roll off the tip of its tongue
Rush is the result of insecurity; Time taught me this today
Tendencies which tend to serve as your demise... impulse
Cast it all away through Time's vortex; just forget them altogether
Smile, and use time as your guide through the fog, not as an antagonist
Trust is omnipotent, soaking through the weavings of complexity
Once you destroy anxiety, Defeat possessiveness, overcome yourself
It will reward you with a soul filled with immaculate happiness
The kind you find in the little things; the kind that grow into entire movements
Whatever is meant to be will be, so trust yourself when you do your very best
Know that not always getting exactly what you want is sometimes a wonderful twist
Find and nurture your being; ignite your purpose... trust your every move
Doubt is not an option; Don't look back, but Grasp and embrace the wind through your valor
Listen to the feel of your inner song; Dance through the oceans of stiff restriction
Fight through your urge to slip under the blanket of discouragement
Time is passionate; It can soothe and charge... Contagious in nature you can't fight it
Open yourself to the belief in trust in time... there's no time for anything else.

Shining Eyes of Fire
Upon taking my first breath this year
I was surrounded by it... protected by it
It drew a new kind of strength
One I first mistook for infatuation,
And yet it was still so kind, forgiving, loving.
I was tainted by something that would later
Gave me the greatest power I've received to date!
From that one moment of isolating darkness,
When he said those daunting words to me,
I panicked, and even tried to detach from it...
The greatest lesson I could ever learn.
I grew obsessed with the sadness that grew,
In what I blindly labeled my tattered heart.
Bitter and running unwillingly, I cried out,
Hoping to fix a problem I dropped on someone else...
When in fact, all this time, the problem has been
... Me!!!
The only one who was wrong was me...
I'm in my own way...and in turn,
I have been hurting myself for so long...why?
Why must I continue to be so childish,
Running away from greatness,
At the expense of taking the easy way out?
So for the next little while I surround myself
With an ominous darkness meant for healing.
One that would take the pain I felt and use it to nourish.
I was free to look into evil lurking inside...
My goal- to purge it before it completely controls me.
It's like I had sold my soul to the devil,
In exchange for a feeling of completeness.
This feeling didn't even come from me!!
It was the worst kind of fixation.
I wanted to harbor off the feelings of someone else
But I was proven wrong... That's not how it works!
I want to be free from the bounds I've enclosed myself in
I want to show the world that I am competent.
That I can make a difference that will help ease their suffering.
What I need to do in order to achieve such a status,
I must surpass my worst enemy, my best friend
my over indulgent mirror image, my weight and chains.
I need to start accepting and upholding responsibility.
Make sure I stay true to the core I once embraced.
To taint it again would be like throwing my life away...
It took some time, but I've finally realized,
I've got a new fire in my eyes, a new inspiration!
I have finally admitted that I need help, but
only to keep me on the right track.
I hate how dependent I've become, I feel so heavy!
This year has shown me some of the most profound insight,
The most profound allure, and the most profound love.
I can honestly say that I have been given a great life,
A great chance to do great things!
Even though I keep stumbling along the way,
I keep running away from those who show me guidance and care.
I must change my mind, and therefore change my life.
I must actively shoot for the stars,
Making sure I keep the morbid fog from consuming me,
Because for the first time In my life,
I've got something to prove, and that must be done by me.
The present day has me learning vastly beyond my years.
I'm grateful for the numerous opportunities...
There are great events and people in my life,
That I know will later test me.
That's why I will wear this profound strength,
Around my shoulders, keeping my head and heart intact.
There's a fierce battle ahead, and I must make sure I'm ready.
What a relief that I caught myself in the nick of time!
I've got another smile on my face,
Reminding me that I am the embodiment of strength.
I've got another smile back at me,
When really I should be smiling back at him in thanks.
I can't tell the future, or wish my way through life,
as it gets tougher, and more complex with passing space and time.
I must fight through the bad, and emphasis the profound good
Not a good I can solely use to take advantage of others
But a Good that can shed a pure light on the unknown
One that can be remembered, influential, and
Truly Profound...

Intimate Vocal Reprise
Crimson Time has lead me Here...
Pure and true in colour, Surrounded by a wise exchange
A Perfect Wave, Warmth as these leaves descend
Paths at every turn All Singing out to me
Each Voice, so distinct, So appealing
Lift me off the ground.
My heart calm, in Awe, shocked with Decisions
Emotions tie in tangles; undecipherable smirk holds so much
I want to make things right! Disregard the past, and fly
Will of all will, Take my hand and I'll show you.
Dancing voices, pull me closer. Let's get under the same umbrella
Show you my most intimate smile, So true and from the soul
I'm Tired of running from what should be embraced
Wrapped around the arms of sincerity
These tears will flow with the illusion of these somber surroundings
I only want one who will help carry me past my limits
That silver lining absorbed in my growing valor
A call to let me tweak the future
This surprise spurred intense motivation to integrate
Both my shadow and my angel on the road to frozen reflection
Imprinted with the past that will never be
Shed off those unruly misfortunes
And look it in the eyes so that I can regain the beauty

Crimson Days
I saw this in a dream one day…
The feelings so vibrant, the touch, so real
But when I woke on that misty summer afternoon
I thought of bitter malice, I thought of sticking by the side of distance
I played with ideas covered in a cold, black shield, where ominous chaos thrives
I looked at you and thought to keep myself unfathomable separate
There were times when I thought of flooding my heart with senseless pleasure
I felt like a fiend who had unwillingly seen a harsh light, holding my sword close to my frail heart
Last I checked, though, Karma gave me back hope
It sent out a thank you, because I didn’t give in to the darkness I’d seemed to swarm myself in
I let time and distance take care of me, used the pain to nourish my boggled mind
And I’m not willing to let anyone take me with them to that same place I was once in
I’m freed, I’m flying high and withdrawing from the mangled madness I’ve experienced
I’ll declare my solitude to be true to what I believe in.
Looking into autumn’s eyes, I see the shedding of an emotional year
One with meaningless kisses and mal-intentioned fucks
The cold I once feared is returning, and this time, inspires me to laugh in the face of danger
Now I know what to do, until the next one comes around whose casted away insecurity
Wisdom is bestowed through anguish, and I want this winter to be ready for me
Because I’ve never felt such a sense of power before, not like this!
I’m finally in control again!
Even if times call for colder days, somber moods, and more fiends like me to go on the prowl
I’ve got a new secret weapon to defend against mundane pleasure and societal fixations
Distance, and my dream will eventually see me though all of life’s frailties
I’ll only be victorious, though If I follow the demands of my Will truthfully
But I'll never let go of the lessons learnt, and add to my creative future
Fly on, let autumn have its say this year, and see where the last leaf falls. I think I'm ready!
