confined before at ease
with my feet, on the edge
hanging above the ground

like i never have to step into life
ever again

i could just stay here

but

when i stop, so does life
it's its way of telling me
that it's waiting for me
when i need a break from it

sometimes
all you need is intermittent isolation
sometimes

life will wait for you
as long as it takes
to figure out who you were
when you came into this world

you came covered in blood
in plasma
in pain
your eyes opened
when the light hit your skin

and when you left
into your own world
with others
you weren't sure of
you lost yourself
you lost yourself
you lost yourself
you lost yourself
you lost yourself
you lost yourself
you lost yourself

you're at the start
of finding yourself
you're getting there

the more of yourself
you put out into this world
and the more love you put onto others
after you put love on yourself

the faster you will see
that the world can be kind
and gentle
and beautiful

and that the love you put into the earth's atmosphere
will make it's way back to you
somehow
