From within.
I have to (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "reject", "embrace", "accept", "face")] this.
I performed. So well,
without practice.
A natural, (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "seeping", "bubbling", "infectious", "boring")],

Each other. We (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "play with", "deal with", "tolerate", "never question", "submit to")]

Those bouts of (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "grief", "yearning", "doubt", "clarity")]

And I want you or that stranger,

I thought I had (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "defined", "discovered", "outlined", "understood")]
The necessary items.
Now, far away,
I am (b4r:"dashed")+(b4r-size:0.6)+(b4r-colour:blue)+(text-style:"outline")[(either: "suspended", "utethered", "at a loss", "unfamiliar")]
