Testo Autonomy

How did I become my own empire of uncontested conviction and self doubt?
A kingdom as big as my crown
With walls as high as my restraint
A history of bartering away blank joy and inflated memories
Governed by my own sense of patience and everything you know about being alone
With walls as high as my restraint and a history of bartering away
Awake in your permanent state of sleep
You are your own setting sun and the space that's in between You won't feel the same as you once did
