Know how to trace; to recognize your boundaries. Don't capture someone's words; hold them with tender fascination. Know that electric spark in your torso; is human, let the movement lead you. Keep those calluses on your finger tips; measures your joy, you know it. An elastic band around your wrist; won't stop the bruising thoughts. Stay away from armed danger; your mind may become a war zone. Listen intently to subconscious thoughts; it's your mother's playground. Never let actions be seen as mistakes; sense the chaos, a good thing. When your hair is no longer chestnut; stop looking in mirrors, look at self. When your eyes are no longer pure; don't lose YOUR sight. When time to leave; don't depart with fire, but a soft wind.

Just in case you forget.
Know how to trace; to recognize your boundaries. Don't capture someone's words; hold them with tender fascination. Know that electric spark in your torso; is human, let the movement lead you. Keep those calluses on your finger tips; measures your joy, you know it. An elastic band around your wrist; won't stop the bruising thoughts. Stay away from armed danger; your mind may become a war zone. Listen intently to subconscious thoughts; it's your mother's playground. Never let actions be seen as mistakes; sense the chaos, a good thing. When your hair is no longer chestnut; stop looking in mirrors, look at self. When your eyes are no longer pure; don't lose YOUR sight. When time to leave; don't depart with fire, but a soft wind.
