Becoming

I find my eyes in every face I see.
 Though looking near, my gaze is far away.
 Survive the fire by reaching for the flame.
 My heart beat drums inside another chest.
 How can I keep the blade away?
 I hear my voice in every word that they say—
 How vague the tone, it's still familiar.
 I lay my weapons down by taking aim.
 I'm vindicated leaving with the blame.
 Each time I find your feet within my shoes,
 Leaping, I dance without a single move.
 I see your smile appear on every face.
 I send a kiss into the quiet air.
 I'm running though my legs are broken,
 And I'm calling out your name, though I cannot speak.
 I find my dreams within a memory.
 The past is dawning far ahead of me.
 What I have not become I will reclaim.
 Survive the fire by reaching for the flame.
