each time i do this i am reborn,
a new choice to make,
a new life to live.

as i stand nearby to watch,
the love battles the darkness,
and i hope won't get beaten in this fight for my heart.

each time i do this
the inside of me struggles to remember
who i was and who i want to be.

destruction pulling at my every thread
as i dream of conquerring the world,
and even myself.

each time i do this i die again,
but somehow i survive it,
and i overcome it once more.

passion flowing through me,
driving me to reach out and feel the all of existence,
to kiss the life force of the universe.

each time i do this i destroy myself,
only to create another,
only to play god once again with my soul.

ripped between two of who i am,
maybe three, maybe four or five,
but knowing i have to be whole again.

each time i do this i fall apart again,
only to find the pieces that were lost somewhere inside
to put them back where they belonged.

beating down the who i am
when the who i am is the one i hate the most,
and knowing the only one who can support me is me.

each time i do this i tear my mind to pieces,
searching for the parts i need
to be complete again.

backing off into the corner,
i see the light battle the hate,
and i can only hope for the best.

each time i do this i dream it will be the last,
but i know that never could be,
and it could never be what i really want.
