From tasting lifes first breath
Suckle my mothers milk
I am already shackled
A soul born unto life
--------------------------
First lesson learned; I must live
To see what makes the world
Escape to beyond these walls
Break free from these shackles
--------------------------
I take my first steps outside
Sunlight caressing me
Sweat trickles upon my brow
I have now tasted life
--------------------------
Never could have imagined
That wonders such as this
I was kept shielded from
By walls I was born with
----------------------
I grow weary of walking
There is so much of life
That I’ve yet to uncover
Time fleeting, I must run
--------------------------
I see even more of life!
though they are but glimpses
i lust, i long to see more!
Like squall i must make haste
---------------------
Everything turned to blurs
I can barely make out
Though I know inside, it’s life
My legs tire and feet stumble
-----------------------
I tumble, kiss the rubble
The dust gets in my eyes
Blood from brow, creeps onto lips
So I taste life once again
------------------------------
Though feeling broken and pained
Life can never stagnate
This hunger inside drives me
I’ll stand up and walk on
-------------------------------------
What will become of me now?
For the road has ended
I can never run again
For this valley I face
-----------------------------
Looking up to the heavens
I hunger once again
This sky that stands before me
I shall go beyond it
-------------------------------
I see no path, no leeway
To this endless expanse
It tempts me, smirks at me
Sapphire haze, I’ll reach you
--------------------------------
With all of my strength, I leap
A little, I come close
Arms stretched as far as it can
I come close, now I fall
--------------------------------------
Momentary high vanished
Now perpetual decent,
Fear and despair consume me
I taste life, now transient
-------------------------------------
Guilt, the last taste in my mouth
I wish to see every brick
Erase footprints walking from
The walls that sheltered me
--------------------------------------------
Its that which can’t be reclaimed
At the end of my fall
I never lost my shackles
My last taste of life
--------------------------------------
