Out

I honestly don't know what to say,
how much to say
and where to start.

It's not as easy as beginning to end.
The words dont't just pour out like
water falling from the sky.

But things are falling from the sky,
and right now I'm staying underground.
Digging and trying to find
the place thats calling out to me.

I went through several oceans
and came back empty handed.
There wasnt any treasure, or any gold.

Your standing at the shore watching me, waiting for me.
I can only walk in slow motion, but your ready to take my hand.
You try to reassure me with the words "I understand."
You tell me to take my time,
but I just keep trying to find..

If you look into my heart
I don't know what you'll find.
I dont know what you'll think.
I don't know that you'll take it from me.
So, im clenching it in my own hands
instead of giving it to you.

In the little gaps between the walls
I try to sneak out, break out.
Slowly, im climbing over.
Slowly, im releasing my grip on my heart.

My steps are quickening,
The waves are lessening.
Are we exchanging?
Giving and receiving?

I know you'll find my heart.
I already see us from afar,
standing as one single thing,
instead of two separate parts.

We combine,
everything gets left behind.
We combine,
there is no such thing as time.

Together, apart.
words in the silence.
take them out.
give them light.
give them to you.

the truth about freedom

The space between inhale and exhale the space between stars fill up with air, and collapse into dust I walk a sunlit path and breath...
