I

I am a cosmic melody

constrained dissonance

in a boundless harmony

I am an instance

of endless polyphony

I am forsaken and lost

walking through the cold

though I did not know the cost

things I loved were sold

and my heart has turned to frost

I am the ascending dawn

holy reckoning 

to save those you've trod upon

no more settling

no more masters, no more gods

I am a monotone grey 

quiet and broken

an empty heart starts to sway

feelings unspoken

must escape in any way

I am the dirt in your nails

the road you walk through

the flowers along the trail

I'm always with you

living within the details

I, I am a voice

honed by the desire to cry

produced by a choice

a choice that I will not die

and so I rejoice

I will survive

for I, I am alive
