Where the world ends is where I begin.
I've always felt this way.
The only thing worse than having no purpose is hungering for one.
You spend so much of your time recounting the best of yourself
In imagination.
Because the best never was.
You spent too much time hating yourself and making any excuse you could,
Telling yourself, there's still time.
Time is now running short.
It always was.
You just chose not to notice.
If you have to rip yourself in two halves to reveal no more than your spirit,
Then you must.
You're out of options and time.
I speak desperately because what you have to lose makes it so.
It's time to face down the giant
For that, is where you must leave him.
