Twist my arm and turn me 'round
Teach me to speak without being found
Give me your eyes, your hands as well
I want to know how it felt to catch you when you fell
How the strength in your wrists held your body intact
How you keep your eyes open and see the facts
And are able to keep in such good condition
Your soul, as others' remain in remission
What have you learned?
What have you saved?
What have you risked?
What have you braved?
Who do you love?
Where is your heart?
Is it on your sleeve?
Is it in your art?
Do you take it out for frequent use?
Or did you learn to preserve it from frequent abuse?
Pull me away from my focus, my shame
I'll let you call me by another name
I'll notice your words. I'll listen and break
Am I a fool? Are you raising the stakes?
Something old, something new
That's desired and true
Though caution is patient, patience wears thin
I think I accidentally let you in
Why have you invaded my insignificant time?
Indulging a fate as it begins to unwind
Detract from reality; Hide from the truth
That we are all hidden behind layers of youth

Thank you for commenting! If anything I've said is unclear, I appreciate hearing from you so that I might clarify. However, I ask that you please refrain from profanity… it gives me bad dreams.
