I was awoken by the sound of song
Time adrift spent to long
I couldn't see although I searched
For the space your voice was perched
A voice so strong a stiffened breeze
That fell to silence with a subtle ease
I listened hard to try and hold
The voice that let these words unfold

Mask of mine
Shadow at my feet
Ghost of the public
Poltergeist of a person
Disconnect from me
Separate yourself from my body
Liberate my soul
Society
Let me be
Me

Intersection of me
Who I am
Who I want to be
Who I can connect
Parts of my heart
Speaking truth of who made me
A poem of weakness
I'm naked when i bring together the parts of my heart
It's who made me
I'm not an individual of particular courage
So, when you meet
Pieces of me
Pieces of me
Come together like polar opposites
Come together like magnets
with ease
for me
Please
Please
come together
I can't do this alone
I need you to meet
So, if it's not in the middle
So, if it's not half way
You'll tear me apart
Come together
For me

I didn’t want to see you like this,
A bullet at the back of a barrel
Pointed right at me.
Is it because
You're, too, **** proud
To take that gun
And turn it back around.
So, over this now
Lukewarm coffee
I’ll feed you kindness
To mellow you out,
If that kills me
I’ll know you’ll still be bitter
but at least you'll still be around.
I’ll feed you kindness
And if it kills me,
I’ll know that
You’ll still be around
It took me too many now long spent years to grasp this lesson.
So, now I’ll teach you
That when you swallow pride
You radiate joy
To those you’ll leave behind
So follow me
Behind your teeth
Past that lump in your throat
Over those forgotten needs
Let’s slip beyond this
Beyond this together
Through this perilous journey
Please remember
That I’ll be there
that I’ll be there
I will be there
Let’s radiate heat
Like the sun in the spring
Let’s radiate heat
Just to make that dead green.
Let’s radiate heat
Let’s radiate heat
Let’s radiate heat
A joyous dream.
