Exiled

For seeking fulfillment in life

Why must I be told how to live and die?

My meaning,

My dream,

My only conviction to be

Threatened now by those

Who dwell in monotony

Seeking out

Those who aspire to be...

Slaughtering dreams

Destroying self

Identity

Faith

Abandoned here...

Escape

This Frontier...

Of Recreance

Desire wearing thin

The fear and doubt sets in

The cracks begin to form around the dream

Piece by piece it falls

And the one who fought through it all?

Now withers away

to their own misery

Carving out

A path from agony

This traitorous mind,

Condemning self

Reverie

Faith

Forsaken here...

Escape

This Frontier...

Of Recreance

Spirit crushed under weight of Recreance

Banished back to a realm of disbelief

Fractured soul, stands! Facing Recreance

Grasping onto what

Could be

Through time immemorial

Has shined the acts of the brave

Through blood, sweat, and heartache

All in faith for a better day

Do not discount the headway

For these sights set for change

Remember your heart

Act true

Be the change you wish to see
