Christian's Magic
A New Life
The storm has finally broken
And the dark subsides
So the wondrous light of love
Has buried me alive.
I heard someone tell me once
"It can't rain all the time"
Well, it seems his words were true
And that now the sun can shine.
Where once i walked down muddy streets
Now my spirit flies.
It's like I've never seen before
And she's opened up my eyes.
Forever first, she'll be the one
To scatter all these lies
And know the truth within my heart;
She's bringing me to life.
And every day the memories fade
Of existence strife with hate.
This mind's no longer prisoner
Of Nite's depressing shayde.

Many of you who read this will not know what it means. Not in the sense that it means something to me, anyway. I am beginning something new, and as yet have not found my footing. I've had somewhat of an interesting life, and now I am in a totally new place, both spiritually and physically. So, in essence, I have shed my skin and am starting anew. I've met the most amazing girl, I'm looking for a new home, new job, new operating system...all of it. I just got tired of being me, and decided that since who I was being wasn't really "me" anyway, I would try something new. And so here I am, doing something new. I don't really know what I intend to accomplish with this new persona, but I hope it fares better than the last one. And I hope that this is for real, because it's getting harder for me to distinguish between reality and fantasy. So for the sake of this ONE, this perfect match, I relinquish my old guise and let it fall to dust, and take on something a little closer to home. This is me.
