Heat waves rush my body,
Warming my skin,
Threatening to blind me,
But I just breathe it all in.
Sunglasses on,
Two hands on the wheel,
We’ve got somewhere to go,
And I want something to feel.
She plays in the park,
Discovering more every day,
And I watch her quietly,
Realizing I’m the same way.
I thank the moon
For all the guidance she’s given,
But I want to live now
That the sun has risen.
So I’ll play the monster,
And swing on the swings,
Chase my daughter around
For the joy that it brings.
It feels so good,
Being free in the sun-
I can assess my thoughts later,
Right now, I’m having fun.

Heat waves rush my body,
Warming my skin,
Threatening to blind me,
But I just breathe it all in.
Sunglasses on,
Two hands on the wheel,
We’ve got somewhere to go,
And I want something to feel.
She plays in the park,
Discovering more every day,
And I watch her quietly,
Realizing I’m the same way.
I thank the moon
For all the guidance she’s given,
But I want to live now
That the sun has risen.
So I’ll play the monster,
And swing on the swings,
Chase my daughter around
For the joy that it brings.
It feels so good,
Being free in the sun-
I can assess my thoughts later,
Right now, I’m having fun.
Sometimes moments not centered around healing can heal too
