Life Finds A Way

I fear what I don't understand
And I will burn it all down to a smoldering ash
I am home here in my skull-sized kingdom
Where I do not care, and live stagnantly
As spiders crawl my flesh, I will soon be consumed and drained of my blood
In my last few moments, the cries of one thousand angry souls shout out:
"Life finds a way"

The depths of our trauma is the well from which we draw our compassion
And it seems to me that I am drowning
Suffocating in my own reflection
And for what it's worth: I love you

Where has my passion gone?
Was it carried off by some lonely ghost?
Or was it robbed by your wrongdoings?
I am growing old and ache every day for peace and joy
It took me a while to admit that I love you
It took me a while to admit that it wasn't my fault

I am here
And you are there
Yet it's like I've known you my whole life
I won't let them hurt you anymore
This is the sound of love
I won't let them hurt you anymore

I cannot say where I will be
But I do know is that I’ll have joy
Follow me through all of my days
Follow me through the rest of my days
I need to be okay with what happened when I was young
There is a scar that will forever show
But it is mine and I will carry it with strength

Spiders crawl on you
On your shoes, and on me
They spin their webs upon piano keys
And so irresistibly, I teem
For you, I could write one thousand symphonies
As I watch you be carried off to sleep by some lonely ghost
I ask myself,
“How can I be as happy?”
Starved for language and affection,
My spirit is derelict and pines for salvation
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, for although I am a broken person, I can find newness and joy in every day of my life.
I am scared of looking my inner child in the eyes and telling them, “I love you and it wasn’t your fault.”
