To crawl out of my throat I know what I want But I can see the hammer drawing back Waiting to strike. does it make sense?? no! why would it do that - Atlas

I think
I have made a decision. It is not the one I thought I'd make At the beginning of this path But life usurps all planned ends anyway. I am not certain it is the right decision, But it is mine, And I made it knowing that there will be heartache and pain and joy to follow. I hope I can remember that. it's easy to say you can handle the consequences before the bill comes due - Atlas you'd think I'd've run out of names by now
fancy titles to decorate the world with that illuminate it with glow and purpose a sense of gravity importance but there are always things left unsaid always an unexplored country beneath my feet no, I have not run out of names and titles yet and I do not think I will do so for some time. hmmm - Atlas Late one night I saw

I really do But I am a dragon Who hoards time and focus And though I exercise restraint when I can And I use my fortune well I do not take kindly To intruders it's difficult to broadcast 'I don't want to talk right now' at someone without hurting their feelings - Atlas we sit together
wrapped in blankets that are only half-effective at keeping out that new-spring chill and jolt as one our arms woven together as light streaks across the sky just above our heads. and I think, 'this is one of the moments I will remember.' just you & I & us - Atlas a quiet nervousness
is rising as I go to face a challenge I have not faced before-- is it enough bounces off the edges of my skull until I can hear nothing else. but even so I know that this too shall pass - Atlas |
