Metamorphosis
Would I see a mirrored self in your hidden veil
The winding road ahead turns into roadblocks
I thank you for your honey; I let it sting and assail
Hold your gaze as I lay here on these soft rocks
The gentlest of blankets, trapped feathers yearn
To dance freely, unburdened by shadows of dread
If I could paint my fear, it'd reach the ceiling's urn
Red paint rushing, causing my heart to thread
An abrupt halt, the brakes struggling to comply
Impossible to yield, I collide with the towering tree
As flashbacks and new beginnings fill the sky
I emerge from the wreckage, a different me.
