Starchild 

Now is when

My muscles ache

My thighs tremble

My hands crumple

Within the compound of a hellish world

Where pain berates 

And guilt succeeds 

Where shame dictates

I look upon the dying sun

It's colossal structure 

An ode to my own strength

To the fire within

And then I look down at myself 

Lying in a puddle of sweat 

Subject to my own limitations 

To my own weakness

But there is fire

And it burns forever 

Like my shining arbiter 

That blazes above me

Past the freezing mountains

It beats with duress

And holds true 

To the coldest of winds

I look up at it now 

Hands grappled in dirt

Feet looked in earth

Chest heaving

And I lift myself

I exhale

And feel the power within

As strong as the sun

As bright as the moonlight night

Casting away shadows of grief 

Now I am

Bereft of weakness

For I am a son of the Stars 

Starchild 

With a burning heart

Awakened 

To live in everlasting frenzy
