I'm setting my true self free
I have songs within me The words come here and there As I go about my days I feel connected to them I feel there are things I want to share It's as if my torso is a cabinet or a safe Shut, locked But full of words unorganizedly stacked Making noise if I move And if I open the door and tip Tons of words will come spilling out

I feel like I have all the time in the world if I just stay up late at night. Oh, but that's not sustainable.

Time & Sleep
Break me down So I can learn each piece I feel like a puzzle that's not put together I'm familiar with some pieces I know parts of the picture But others seem like a mystery Or a contradiction

Puzzle Pieces
In 11 years At least one thing hasn't changed: You're home to me You've supported my endeavors And I've always had you to come home to I like having that to count on I need your stability May I be so bold to say Maybe you need my variety I like that you truly see me I need that Maybe you do too I need your insight and blunt honesty I need your silliness Maybe you need my different ways of thinking We unwaveringly support each other I need your stability Maybe you need my variety

This is where I grew up broken And I still am I'm trying to find my missing pieces This is where I fell apart I'm still not together I'm searching for a way to snap things into place Understanding is out of my reach I walk with limited sight Hoping that the next thing I stumble upon Will be an answer Will help me move forward

Poison
The stone around your heart has been chiseled at You warm the frost when you're ready When you realize the small thinking, anger, fear, and drawing into yourself Have shrunk you small The wall starts to crumble You start to free your mind, your heart From the prison you kept for safety

Captive
I'm low on energy But I've got fire in my heart I want to wake up from this sleep My head is filled with water

Embers
I have been seeking comfort for so long I don't want to deal with the hard things The unpleasant or mundane In some ways, I was never taught how But I can't shake this feeling that I need more Seeking comfort brings on stress, anxiety, pain I can't handle all of it I've been struggling to change for a long time What will it take? I want to be ready I decide to do things But following through is easier said than done How much more will I allow to fall before it's enough? I say it's enough.
