10,000 different worlds
10,000 different stories,
Clouding my eyes, my mind, my words.
10,000 wolves upon my back,
10,000 ways to die.
Yet only one of those ways will reach its mark;
As it nears, it's magnified.
10,000 miles in which to walk
From sea to raging sea
1 million steps in which to take
Before it is what it's meant to be.
10,000 wings will take their flight,
5,000 of which will break.
Angry mobs bare down on them;
The advantages it will take.
10,000 eyes stare hard at me
Then shiver as if only one.
5,000 minds will kill my soul;
To them, it's just begun.
