Reflection

Sunrise, sunset
I love thinking about the good times, yes the good times
These are the times you never seem to forget
A strong hug, a simple tug of your heart
However, its been interrupted by
A run of the mill explanation
Preceded by a weak sensation

What was I thinking
before he started breaking the rules
Yes, they did exist
Even though I choose to toss them to the wayside
Undoubtedly I paid the cost
However he’s the one that’s lost.

On the other hand, I am an illuminated being
As I expand my mind to embrace something divine
I find that what I needed was deep within all along
I know it was wrong to deny myself
Genuine Happiness
Intimacy
Fellowship
Yet I am now in control of it

It’s a supernatural gift that was revealed by
A messenger, a vessel of which
healing continues to take its rightful place
Inside my heart where it was shaken, tossed and ravaged
Yet there’s no permanent damage
I cried
I lied
I tried
But through it all
I AM ALIVE

You hear me
I AM ALIVE
Sunrise, Sunset
The good times, times I will never forget
I’ve paid my debts
I’ve canceled the check
The power I handed over I’ve taken back
Being attacked it not an option
I am protected
I will no longer be neglected
I AM ALIVE
I’ve cut the ties that bind
Oh what a beautiful Sunrise, sunset
