"Origin Story" Inspired by Breathe and Count Back from Ten:

Origin Story

They say I came from the falling stars,

that I grew a little more each time one flew over

and placed a kiss on my forehead.


They say I came from pain and tears,

that I grew in the dark, quiet corner

where the gods go to cry.


They say I came from a far away land,

that I ran from responsibility and duty

and never looked back.


They say I came from a forgotten battlefield,

that the last dying man asked to not be alone,

and the gods sent me to sing him into the next life.


They say a lot of things, but they don’t listen.

I am the owner of my origin story,

and I say I was born from the power of joy.
