i speak aloud the words that flow within my mind
i cannot type the way the drum inside keeps time
i do not know if anything i feel is real
except the changing tides roll on along the wheel
and as it turns i feel i learn - im more confused
with age comes widsom or maybe simply solitude?
a sense of pride of knowing who we are and why
i know im nothing if i cannot empathize
i felt that daily when the teacher would hit play
the music gets me, feel the rhythm love the stage
and now these words are all i have to let you know
Who i am What i am Who you are How we grow
as injured angry hated frustration regret
i fight with hope and dreams and temporary set
backs
need an art i need humanity and touch
turn off the music something please give me a rush
that sounds like drugs i know that world would pull me down
but like a curious child i ponder how that sounds
i try to plan my life at every moment 'off'
my resting calm life isn't calm when you are used
and yet im happier than i have been in weeks
for i can finally tell somebody who seems to seek
ART. and life and sensuality
and everything that's every reason to be free
