Denying the access of new potential royalty

to offer shares of our contract

and grant emotional royalties...

to willingly kibosh the opportunity

to fill in voids in my life

to fulfill this spirit

is an admission to myself that I don't need anybody to define what I'm about

...that said, in the instance of such admissions

I'm lying to myself

when sulked and sullied

For myself, this secure stronghold I procure

is an admission of a life barricaded

what I once cherished no longer thrives

but above all...I simply don't want to lose the memories of who once meant so much to me

in a new sea of uncertainty

despite the assumed knowledge, hard-knock wisdom,

and the ability to lure a new chapter in my novel

I assure you, once you're past the bitter pills

i cast empirically with such unbridled will

When my attention

carries full retention

of your beautiful

mind, body, and personality

I'm actually a quite approachable, enjoyable person

I'll give you as much heart as you're willing to offer

for yourself

but I must proclaim

I cannot relinquish what is still tangible so carelessly anymore -

I'm all in or all out

a lustrous luminary or a forgotten firestorm - 

no element of this vessel is crafted of paper any longer

so step aboard, or step aside
