Eyes wider than Ohio
Staring directly into the truth I've spent years in denial about.
Psychedelic doubt
Ugly within, uglier without.
Questioning myself and every decision I've ever made
Ego dissolution, consequential confusion
Every move has a karmic influence
So we spend our days in the sunlight of the spirit
Summertime eternal
Flowers will die but ever we are in bloom
Screaming "doom" & "i love you"
From the womb to the tomb.

My clay was hardened too early
Blood tainted with oil and slick
If God made me in his image
Why craft a sinner

If not to expose the hole shaped like me between his stars
The space that doesn't fit a righteous hand

A shell to remind himself that not all gaps are unholy
My pride fills the spaces on shelves burdened with forgotten importance

There is a space for me in his image
He did not make me to be quiet
But silently I fill the void
As intended

I see myself in you,
but I wish I didn’t...
because you make me feel so blue.

Dear Doubt,

It's understandable that you have risen.  You are at a stage in your journey that is untrodden by you.  This is a path you have not walked, yet.  The uncertainty that you can do it, is normal dear one.  You see where you need to be but the path seems too long.  See the first step, then the next, learn from each move.  Move forward, build the strength you need to keep moving.  Rest when you need to and get up again.  This is normal dear one.  Do not fear, this is growth.

The feeling of doubt weighs heavy on my stomach
Like an anchor holding me down
I try and release it but my arms are too weak
Someone starts to work with me
Pulling the chain up one link at a time
I'm feeling lighter with every pull
I'm feeling lighter with the realisation
that I am not alone

Replace all of your sadness with great joy,
every meter of your doubt with quite convictions.

Take the places of every fear you had with some endurance, all of your anxieties with enough calmness.

You have the influence to make the right choices for your own.
And what really matters, is that the moment you knew the whole you in every ground plans.
All you need is to hold on to yourself - trust;

What if I don't love you
but just the way you look at me?
What if I don't love you
but just that what we seem to be?
What if I don't love you
but just how you truly care?
What if I don't love you
but just that you're always there?
What if all these “what-if”s are true,
and I am not in love with you?
It was inspired by the thought that I may not love someone for who they are but because of the way they love me.
