I am afraid to fail

and more frightened to stand .

I want to live all my dreams

and see every land.

I make wishes on planets

and I talk to the moon.

I speak without thinking

and I smoke before noon.

I climb high atop ladders

and always look down.

I love at first sight

and in love, I drown.

I love the sound of laughter

as it spreads through a crowd.

I think voices are noisy

but one voice is loud.

I  ramble without meaning

but what I do speak I mean

I'm proud, but I'm gentle

and my hands are unclean.

I love to listen

and I listen to love

I find strength from within

not within god above.

I have the face of a child

but the eyes of a muse.

My heart has only one door

and I easily confuse

I don't believe in sequals

because stories don't end.

Another chapter can be found

when you climb 'round the bend.

I rhyme without reason

and i sing to the birds.

I find riddles intriguing

I see beauty in words.

I stare into fires

and wave my hand through the flame.

I scoff at fingers pointed

for in every heart lies blame.

I have many shadows

that I cast with my stare.

I'm strong and unruly

but innocently frail.

I think with my heart

and fall back on my head.

I breath through my eyes

and leave nothing unsaid.

I'm as open as a book

but i'm bound with thick string.

For it takes a careful soul

to hear the song I sing:

I'm a devil, you're a fool,

she's a muse and he's a saint

but our silhouettes are formed

in the pictures our hearts paint.
