Are you ready to feel?
Wake up Call
I opened my heart
And let you see in it
Stepped out in risk,
Showed you my true self
Learned once again
Why I’m always concealing
The who I am deep down
She’s not who you’re seeking
For years I’ve accepted
Your frail, grave condition
Hushed up my insides
And fed your addictions
Frozen my heartbeat
And spiritual mission
In hopes of the slight chance
You’d change your position
But all that I’ve learned
From this single decision
Is I’m the one losing
Idiotic, ass reasoning!
Truth’s often spoken
In subtle, faint language
Inviting us close up
To hear what it’s saying…
“You were born into arms
Of the weakest perception;
Clinging to lies that will
Never bring happiness.”
Why don’t they want me?
Why won’t they listen?
I’m so sick of being
The one who is missing!
It’s not till we fail at
Getting the message
That life starts to scream out
And rattle our cages…
Walls start to puncture
From raging and fighting
Exposing a new side
Dysfunction recycling
Head on I see her
In sparkling, clear glass,
The same woman stares back,
“It’s me! I’m a part of this!”
Rolling it over
I pace with new insight
–inhale and exhale—
Till I’m finally inspired…
“I can’t be the person,
They groomed me to be,
I’m not her, she’s not me,
I’m going to feel.”
