Beyond the Albatross: In Search of What Remains
I've decided to run into the wilderness!
Flee from all the noise, from all that suffocates!
Into the forest, into the trees!
Feel them breathe—learn to just be!
Listen to nothing but the rhythm of me,
A silent force, typhonic as the sea,
To embrace the chaos of being lost!
I’ll cast off this heavy albatross,
And chase the path beyond this loss,
Sever the roots of my family tree,
And break away from what they want of me!
Transcend this culture’s heretical cross,
Until I carve my truth from the bedrock beneath this debris,
To sculpt the highest pillars of who I was always meant to be!
Yours,
SMA, Dark Empress
