Dear Fear
I am stealing from God
When I say that sometimes, my heart beats as air
Gravity is about running till you forget that you are falling
Pushing and pulling entails that something has to let go
To be let go is to be released
While time bears down on us, we are folding in aching relief
Repeating to keep being alive. We are thrown in a loop
In the loop, we bend full circle
in equilibrium, life is attained
Our moments tumbled before us in organized disarray
Today and tomorrow are connected by newness
We lose parts of ourselves solemnly
Like night turning to morning
We fade to become. Erase to draw.
To color our days, we shed our skins
To take on new beings. To disappear
Sometimes I feel like I am rushing through everything
Forgetting to remember. I need someone to hold. I need someone to hold me
When I say that sometimes, my heart beats as air
Gravity is about running till you forget that you are falling
Pushing and pulling entails that something has to let go
To be let go is to be released
While time bears down on us, we are folding in aching relief
Repeating to keep being alive. We are thrown in a loop
In the loop, we bend full circle
in equilibrium, life is attained
Our moments tumbled before us in organized disarray
Today and tomorrow are connected by newness
We lose parts of ourselves solemnly
Like night turning to morning
We fade to become. Erase to draw.
To color our days, we shed our skins
To take on new beings. To disappear
Sometimes I feel like I am rushing through everything
Forgetting to remember. I need someone to hold. I need someone to hold me
