Just a second in time
And you freed my mind

Just a tear shed
And now I can get out of bed

Just a leap taken
And my life is not longer forsaken

Just a second in time
And now I can call you mine

I tilt my head up
And you look down at me
And I can’t think about the future
I can’t focus on anything
But what’s happening right now

I can’t see past your eyes
Sparkling and flowing
Like the Milky Way
Filled with all the meaning
They hold every secret worth knowing

I can read volumes in the blue
A life of pain and struggle
That makes me angry
But a gentle strength
That melts my resolve into nothing

I could look into those eyes all day
Learn all the knowledge they’ve ever known
See all the beauty they’ve ever seen
Feel every tear that’s ever been shed
I could never get bored

I could explore the milky way
Until the end of time
Learn every inch
And see every planet and star
Just by looking into your eyes

I am who I am
Unapologetically
Unbound

I am a dreamer
Forward thinking
Always moving

I am a lover
Slow to anger
Quick to forgive

I am afraid
Of losing myself
staying still

I am unsure
Of what’s right
What I want

I am sensitive
Take it personally
Blame myself

I am passionate
Give everything I have
Hold nothing back

I am driven
Will never settle
Put up a fight

I am kind
A simple smile
A warm hug

I am a mess
Always late
Disorganized

I am reckless
Impatient
Jump before I think

I am enough
For this world
Just as I am

My face is warm like sunshine
Round and bright
I stare up at the burning orb in the sky
That I share so much likeness with

At first glance it’s beautiful
Bright and hot
Erupting with light
Happy and free

But I can feel the wrath beneath the surface
A reckless storm lies underneath
Churning and billowing
A constant angry motion

There’s so much depth
Lost to the brightness
If the light would only dim for a short time
Then everyone would see the truth

The blinding truth
That it’s out of control
That it’s fighting to stay alive
Fighting to keep its light

So it can mask the truth
So everyone will remain unaware
Of the turmoil and fear
Of the chaos and pain crammed inside the light

It won’t show
No human will ever truly see
Because the sun is good at one thing
Remaining bright

So I stare at the sun
Bathing in the warmth
Comparing our likeness
Because I know the truth behind the light

The space in between the seconds
Keeps growing smaller
As time goes on
Until you can’t even feel it anymore

But the space between him and I
Just gets bigger
Until the edges can’t even be seen
And we’re both lost in this void

Though the space is so big
There’s not enough room
To fit all the little things
The important things

So we both just wander aimlessly
Through the black
Never finding our way back to each other
Though I was searching for you

But we let the space get too big
And when I found the wall
I climbed out
And I didn’t go back to look for you

I found myself
High above the wall
Looking down at what used to be
But I didn’t want to go back

Go back to the empty
Where all those little important things
Didn’t matter to you
And you just threw them in the garbage

And threw me in the garbage
Because those little important things
All the weirdness and quirks
Were parts of me

So I climbed out of the black
And picked myself up out of the trash
And moved on
And I’m not coming back for you

Because I found myself
And I realized that I’m okay
With all the weird and the quirks
I’m okay with being me

So the space in between the seconds
Is going to keep getting smaller
And time is going to fly
Faster than ever

But I’m ready to fly
And I’m okay with being me
Now you just need to be okay
With being without me

Today I can feel
For the first time in a while
I feel everything

My warm cup of coffee in my hands
My shirt as it hugs my body
The hard floor beneath my feet as I walk

I can feel it all
And today, I notice it
All the details stand out

It’s like the dullness from the past days
Has shifted into the sunlight
And my whole life is in full bright color

Yes, I can feel it today
I feel good, and whole, and full
I can feel it ❤️

Just one more drink
And I’ll feel good
Just one more and tonight
Can be a night I don’t remember

Just one more dance
And my feet will be free
And I’ll no longer be glued
To this seat that holds me captive

Just one more song
And I swear I won’t care anymore
And all my worries
They’ll just fall away to the beat of the music

Just one more step
And I won’t look back
Not even if you’re hurting
Not even if it rips me apart

Just one more night
And I can leave this place
I’ll run so far away that no one can catch me
And I’ll be free for once

Just one last time
And I won’t have to lie to myself
I’ll finally scream my truth
On the rooftop and everyone will know

Just one more tear
And I won’t let you see me cry anymore
And the pain that I hold onto
Will be mine forever

Just one final breath
And it will truly be my last
But don’t worry about me
Because it’s for the best.
