The Grand Empire

Originally written January, 2007

I like to run on the other side of the road,
where nobody can hide from my watchful eyes,
the vicinity of the grand surprise,
I light your fire within,
for I am the survivor of the kin,
I am no dirt,
nor refuse of an empty vase,
I am worthy of no disgrace,
I hold power to no curtail,
I cannot comprehend this will to fail,
 
I will light a fire,
I am grandiose,
this is my empire.

Imagine a vase with flowers sitting in it for a week. Now dump out the flowers and grimy water. What's inside? Slimy fallen drowned leaves, dust, nothing. That is the refuse of an empty vase. I am not that.

Wrote this at 18 after being dumped on N.Y.E at a house party not by the guy himself but via his older brother's girlfriend. Yep. Good times. (Not my best work)
