i have four names.
two i keep to myself.
two other people know.
i was born a shadow a watcher.
to those lives intertwined with mine.
i have been know to be a fighter.
i have been know to be a loner.
I'm not sure if my path is my own.
or if it has already been laid out before me.
i know more then i wish.
i know less then i want.
i long for the star and sea.
i long for the light.
i live in the dark.
i live in the past.
i fear the world i know.
i fear the world i do not know.
i am here. yet i am gone.
i live in the present.
i live to watch i live for now.
