I have betrayed
my true self
speaking
in the rain
for the knight
outlined and rusting
on the otherside of the mirror
chalking every dent in my armor


here-in lies the problem within
this revelation


(i am in limbo)


homesick to speak once again from my castle
in confidence and courage


my emotions are welling-up
blistering the belief that
blossomed the
begining


this can't and won't be the end
of years of education


I engraved and embraced knowledge
of the unknown sharing all I know


NOW ALL I KNOW


is I've become a stranger to myself
weakened and vulnerable


so here I stand ashamed to admit
dealing deceiving dreams


the line has been drawn


a rushing river of ink returns
to the rightful writer
in the kingdom
of knowing


I'm aware this is my only warning
S....WA..RM....I...N...G
otherwise I'll lock-up under pouring
...ST...O...RM...IN..G....


this gift will no longer
be shared by me


for you


I shall return
but not under this name
weilding a tounge i learned to tame


I've worn shame
in this lesson of pain
will mark my armor with a stain


I vow to retain and remain
a messenger free
of blame
and a
prophetic
brain


when I return.....rainchalked outlines
will be slain.....


allowing.....knightmirror....
to reclaim
the flame
