In and Out

The only thing that ever differed
the tasteful from the bitter
the stronger from the feebler
Was the flaming essence within
the surviving substance
The one to commence once
the willing itself subsides

Trying not to fight
Would it ever be that fair?
Not enough to suppress the shout
Of sides to decide
coming out

Will you hold it enough
To keep it in
Strong enough not to feel
Expectations underrun
The feeling you waited
To become something real

The feelings you're holding and trying to keep in
You're coming
The people you love and your efforts to keep from showing out
You're coming

In & out, from the inside, you are born
The everlasting storm, always burning
You have finally begun

From the start never to return.
