A Tale

It is now, in this breath, in the deepest parts of my lungs, I know who I am.
There is no coward turning out the lights.
There are no sheep to be seen running through the lands I tend to keep.
There are only wild fucking beasts readying themselves for the journey.
For the next, I do, I vow to myself to keep.
I cannot continue to runaway each time I feel heaviness sit on my chest,
Waiting on me to say mercy.
We come from the stars and i don't intend on letting them down anytime soon.
