Strong as the sun
And the wind in a storm
Shivering, not cold
Just want to get warm
Right Now

Standing on the edge
Of where I could fly
Yet wanting to curl up
And just die
Right Now

A familiar place
Recognizing the pain
Vowing I will never
Be back here again
Right Now

Thought I was smart
Thought I had learned
Protected my heart
But here I returned
Right Now

Curled in the corner
Liked a scared injured creature
Life can be
Such a merciless teacher
Right Now

Tomorrow I will stand
And raise up my head
Take a jump off that edge
See how high I can fly
………….Just not, Right Now
