My heart aches, yet numb as though on a full dose of anaesthetic I'm tatooted from the many lessons of life The sweet memories now nightmares Haunting me all night & 'day' The present, the slave master urging me 2 move on Never to look back or turn Lot's wife I missed YOU but life, a master I fought to disobey but failed It cut my Taurean excesses (big time) You are not everything But you are everything You are real as real can be You absorbed my fears You armoured me up Restated my identity to me Pushed me out from the shelters The shelters of self-doubt and depression To battle the enemy within From the ship of personality disorder Into the dreaded ocean of greatness, you threw me I swam, drown nearly Nearly never killed, I survived I stand today, I'm a survivor You are a champion Now the great Time had dished out its inescapable new status Strangers left in our place Looking at each other from across a distance In the confinement of our egos. |
