The Hourglass Part 2

There is still hope indeed

As I am buried down
Deep in the morbid sands of time
I realize, This cannot end
Negativity cannot kill this existence
As I avenge myself
Gathering all this inner strength within

My first intention
Was to delve into the hourglass
So I could block time
As I traveled
To the light speed of infinity
Embracing all walks of oxymoronic fantasies
Oblivious to this very heart and soul

But then I realized nothing will ever change
I will only feel such enduring pain
Energy being drained
Terror being foretold
In this personal catastrophe enduring
The death of my inner emotions

So I ask myself
Why wallow in this very dread?
Who wins? Not me

I thrive to climb back atop these dreams
Taking them where I have never taken them before
Being incomplete because complete is boring
Looking down with rejoice
Enlightened by this knowledge that has been implored

And on this very pinnacle
I have found the very creatures
That once hindered these feelings
But will I kill them?, No
These monsters are all for my entertainment
For the amusement of this artistic insanity
That flows inside this muse's metaphor

And then in deep meditation, I have an epiphany!
The divine realization of never being a product of my environment
But the director of all greater dreams ahead
Sure they'll be pain and suffrage
But I can beat it
For I have beaten it many times before

Now, So far is really so close
I can just feel it, Touch it, Smell it, Breathe it in
As this heart beats in ethereal rhythm
Truly giving me acceptance
Of a love I have never felt before

And now with my mind
I have drawn a volcano
Within this very hourglass
As it shall erupt within this oppressive time
Destroying this hourglass within
As I proclaim time as my own essence

Yes, I have outgrown this hourglass
And now I fly up and away
Ready to touch down when needed
Only to take a special interest up with me
As I fly higher than ever before

This is not the end
But the start of all greater things to come

Sure I will probably crash from time to time
But I will get back up and fly like never before

I have escaped the hourglass
Now it's nothing but a shattered illusion

Looking down at it's pathetic defeat
Smiling ear to ear with such a bittersweet accomplishment

Now my love, My self worth
Have become the priceless treasure
That I cherish the most

Grabbing onto poetic salvation
Flying higher than ever before

My mind has never been this clear
Feeling brand new in this race against time
As time no matter how shattered
Will always live on
