Temperance

 I thought I was helping you,

But I was also hurting myself.

It's not your fault that I chose to go out.

I had to sink before I could swim again,

And the other side is like a first breath.

What am I forgetting?

I don't know anymore.

But I feel that my hands are empty

when it should not be so.

I'll have to gather the forgotten pieces later.

What do we do when

No one is in control?

How many times can we start over

before judgment day?

Will a spark burn down our progress,

Or 

Can we endure long enough to see the roots flourish.

Ci piacerebbe

Ci piacerebbe.

…dove andremo?

…dove ci troveremo?

Sei figo. Sapevi?

In fatti è la verità.

Mi sente come se stessimo percorrendo

Senza la mappa,

Però

Non importa finché

Impariamo insieme dove andremo.

Scales, Stingers, Stripes

Let’s play a game.

You poke me,

And I’ll swing at you.

Let’s test our wits.

I’ll follow your instructions,

But you’ll have to predict the loopholes.

It’s all fun in balance.

Can a scorpion resist using its stinger?

Can a tiger change its stripes?

I doubt it.
