Being birthed I was given two options Departing the usual direction Or taking the path of enlightenment In the womb of my soul I calculated each step before it was to happen Spending an enternity rolling the pros and cons over like cement not yet layed Then I knew Like a knife sliding across the throat It was exposed to me clearly And taken like a breath of air I climbed through the opening in the veil of consciousness Bloody and soaked in self-awareness And took my first step Into the light

Birthed from Contemplation
Being birthed I was given two options Departing the usual direction Or taking the path of enlightenment In the womb of my soul I calculated each step before it was to happen Spending an enternity rolling the pros and cons over like cement not yet layed Then I knew Like a knife sliding across the throat It was exposed to me clearly And taken like a breath of air I climbed through the opening in the veil of consciousness Bloody and soaked in self-awareness And took my first step Into the light
