girl, i wanna tap into your spine
& remove all of the thorns
that make your insides bleed
& fill up your stomach with
heavy things like fear & dread

soon, i’d like to put your hand
in mine & show you what
lies beyond your humble body
& the prisons & cages you
made of your horizons

girl, you should really know
that nothing is impossible
& you’ve got wings of a mind
& a holy motor in your chest
you could take flight anytime
