When Dreams Die

Empty insides, briefly
Releasing expectations of me
Forgetting what could be
Granting myself the freedom
To conceive, endlessly
My own beliefs and prophecies
Observe the world around me
How I perceive has been a faithful friend to me
And I will not let it sink quietly
As crowds rave and deny entropy
I sneak silently in my solemn abode
Losing desires and dreams cast unto me
I’m no longer seeking outer destinies
To be approved and applauded so foreign to me
Not a need I have left to please
Adoring the outside of identities
To be as I ever was, my usual mode
Returned to the trees and every species
The fascinating marines and planted seeds
To the stars and galaxies
Everlasting I will be, hovering presently
Saved by my allowance of biotic tendencies
No longer adopting novel diseases
Everchanging and repeating
Civil attires and unrest ideologies
Nothing to prove, all to gain
Omniscient being, fame won't retain
Incoming totality, the freedom of preservation
The claim to power, the me I always wanted
Blend in expanse of culture and geographies
Content with sharing laughs and glees
Hardships and pleas all nations bleed
Of any peoples and nativities
My condemnation of macerated philosophies
To relish in my own company
To exist in holy matrimony
Life cycle, a dream complete, internally
Boring, breathing, fantasy
Death is not inherently tragic
Elastic, eternal flexibility
Firmly latched, seekers keep
Reclaiming my born-rights to majesty
Dear to me, my propensity to see
Wounded by mortality, an idol would be
I am free, to simply be
This is my gift to me
