"Transparent Quicksand", January 25th, 2009

It's a place with no location,
A word with no definition,
This concept which has me in such a difficult position,
What do you follow when you have no intuition?

The sky spells the future the way that only the stars know,
While the past is reflected as it crashes in the waves below,
While in the present I sink deeper in this quicksand beach,
Able to be heard and seen but constantly out of reach.

Slowly fading with nothing to fight for,
No reason to try if I'm not in the right war,
Wish there was something to set my sights on,
But there's nothing to see when all of the light's gone.

So find me something to search for in this hole,
Something for me to find as my goal,
That when I reach it I'll be able to breathe again,
Give me that target if you want to see me smile again.

My intensity will lead me to my destiny,
Won't let their density get the best of me,
Just because they can't understand where I stand,
Won't make me waste my time explaining the rhymes.

Don't stand in my way, I'll break through you with no remorse,
Simply allow my tenacity to run its course,
Run alongside me if you want to stay around,
Because unless you're in my sight, I won't hear a sound.

The heat from my stare turns all obstacles to glass,
Shattering to the floor once I'm an unstoppable mass,
So stay clear or the remnants will cut you deep,
Unless you can somehow keep up with my speed.
