"The Amputee" Nobody ever asked me What I wanted to go and have a metal leg for Some looked at me With a mixture of pity and revulsion But it wasn’t at me It was at the metal leg That was a part of me Nobody ever scolded me For wanting a metal leg instead of flesh It was assumed I didn’t want...

Tied to these chains no more Held back by blackened stone The aged hath no right nor Thieving the youthful bone! O vivid horizon! Hypnotizing my gaze Point the way Orion! Lead out, out of this maze! Father fights for freedom Today his victory Today, today 'tis come! Light the edge, jitters me...

Once more gazing to the sky? Seems that hope will never die To send this hope across the sky Will I? Reaching out across the sky Praying hope will let me fly To take that leap from up so high Will I? Roaring thunder shakes the sky Tempests freed throughout this sigh To break this cycle from...

First impressions A cover without the book Fed on by transgressions Veracity was mistook A different story was told Within the absent pages Not all that glittered was gold Shining comes in stages So easily it now flows Deep in the sea Nothing stops or slows Currents between you and me
