Present

My body is numb
Tingling and stinging are all I know
This head paints a picture my heart can not follow

Ready to leave & leap
To a destination with no street
Of glitters and shrieks
This is a dream
My body is numb

My heart sings a new song
Of melodies & choruses we try to comprehend
These are things to which there is no end
Unfathomable
Yet, not unrelated
These are the facts, not old news
My body is numb

I'm ready to jump
But now my heart fears
And my mind turns these hopes into tears
I can not see the ending
I can not see tomorrow's landing
Yet we must take the risk
For what is life without it?

My life is numb
Can you hear it?
This confidence parades
She thinks she knows all the answers
Call her by name & hear all of its disasters
This clutter has to go
For to have wisdom is to have growth

A new life has awakened
Let's find her purpose
Fighting those demons with ease
This is it! We've found it!
In unison we scream
This is my new beginning,
To have a fresh start
These fingers are numb, but these feet are not

Walking through & not around is best
There's a beating drum inside of my chest
A new scene is forming
My mind is clearing
Fear take a picture, for it's your last
Take a bow, for we're putting you to rest

Here I fly
My body free from being numb
There is a joy  & it's warming up this emptiness inside
She is blooming
A blossom fortells of adventures that could not hide
I am eager she says
Together we can do this!
My body, heart, & mind
My body, heart, & mind

Present.
