My Bid

I'm sorry to be late
But I got lost
On the way here I stumbled
What's left behind was painful to forgo
I walk on my own

Can't wait forever
Time is a treasure for those who are mortal
These eyes won't look away

I don't believe in fate
Lucky dice toss
Or divine scheme to follow
Trust that my mind is careful to ward off
Deceit and control

Can't wait forever
My soul, relentless, it chose its own hurdle
These eyes won't look away

Hunger greater than fear
Previous falls have made it clear
Hidden danger in unknown defeat
Devious solace
Reason better than might
Conscience calls the worthy fight
Daring wager or shameful retreat
Quiet does not mean peace

Holding aim still so my eyes blear
But will not let them shut
I refuse to blink back tears
To relinquish is to be weak
Walk on thorns and ignore how deep they cut
Won't lose sight of what I seek

My bid is all that I am
There's no other choice, no higher price to pay
My bid is all that I am
Take me now but give me hope of a new day

Though I didn't come to stay
I am looking for some kind of permanence
I will walk great lengths without going astray
Will my ripple give rise to your turbulence?

If you just wait for long enough
Heaven will turn to hell
And all that you know shall fade
All you love the flame will engulf
Wreaking havoc, impossible to quell
Act before it is too late

My bid is all that I am
There's no other choice, no higher price to pay
My bid is all that I am
Take me now but give me hope of a new day
