On the weathered edges of the page in the book of my life

I would like to scribe a message in the night

This session that I'm penning is a flight from the mindscape

Cinematic in design like the Lion's Gate

Dramatic thoughts, and promises lost. And what is the cost?

And how does it fall, the odds tossed?

This accumulation of the past - it's vastly drastic

And asking me to leave it behind? Well, that's it...

'Cause I've had a valley and peaks of rallies and weak times

But I'm free to speak mine

And to think, if I didn't it's like having a weak mind

In a week's time I'd seek to rewind...

But as I flip the pages of the script

See the lines end. But new lines rise, I find them

And I'm then resigned to write them

The past few chapters of my life end

But -

A clean slate, a blank page - the emptiness

Whiter than the driven snow from a Winter's kiss

Brighter than the glow from a hot ember, it's

A rod tempered with odd memories of a sinner's bliss

A new chapter now

I'm graduating from my past with a cap and gown

And ask me how. Life is like the cat's meow

I wear this angelic coat like I'm Castiel

Supernaturally fly

It's tragically endearing like the 'Apples of My Eye'

In fear, I'm nearing a high, that I could never climb

Right here I close my eyes and let my peers from behind...

Lift me. This intimate gift means

I can trust my fans hands are really with me

And if anything I'm ready to take the next step

Because change without fear is the best

Invested in your self, your metamorphosis it develops

And envelops you. Let it happen naturally, I'm tellin you

Filling shoes you're unwilling to was the telling clue

Honeymoon period is up... I had a feeling too

I'm appealing you to listen

Terrified of change isn't a strange position

And there ain't no wisdom I can say to base it in

But stay in the game, and don't play for plain winnin'

Think about the life that you existed

The fixed photographs of memories are screen captures of an instance

Exits and entrances of evidence you touched lives

Forever resident, and present in your rough eyes

Because the wrinkles are the residue

And when you blink it's for the future that's ahead of you

You're resolute with your attitude

Proof that you had your youth, tested was the truth in your platitude

Even then, you can laugh it off

'Cause that's an awful lot of struggles that you're passin' off

My hat is off to those who've casted off

The shackles of their flashbacks to an afterthought

For man has sought deep space like an astronaut

These new chapters I embrace like a wrapping cloth

This book is bound by a timeline wrought in the iron

Of the spine that replaces a master lock

But you dip your pen in the inkwell

For it's the path you've yet to tread that makes the ink spill

It makes you think still living on the brink

Will give you all the words you can drink

But sip with bit of sense - savor the innocence

Flavour is imminent, taste will begin when it has a chance

I haven't answered your question

But then again - every page in your life is a lesson
