Through the ashes, I rise a swallow.

For I was Swallowed by darkness, a shallow shadow.
My freedom is beneath, the ashes of sorrow.
Prescribe me a forgiveness , not a plea
This stings, but don't doubt me.
You underestimate my strength
You undermine my intelligence,
Don't you realize?.. There is more than meets the eye.
Your ignorance is deep,
but don't worry,
I will subvert this corruption.
..For my vendetta is fueled by the taste of retribution,

Don't forget..

Redemption is bliss.

I'm carrying destiny on my shoulders
I'll be myself forever..


Mistake my reticence for anxiety ..
for your bewilderment will be my ascendancy.

Destiny. Do what you will, for mine's written in stone
Its been a tough ride through all the chaos
Persistently .. carried

abhorrence

Aversion .. all in my hind pocket,
but don't mind me for I'm not perfect
...but sometimes,
In it's tight grasp , "gasp".
I break free. Tenacious.

You point me to the door,
But behind my smirk
I mumble poor fellow,
and point to the rafter,
..for it's not me you should be after.
