Guarding To Be Mended (title may change)
I keep guarded
in the heart and head,
parts of me I thought were dead,
hiding tears, trying to stay fierce instead
'cause I don't even know yet
if I've even reached the hardest step...
...but I know,
it's the way life flows,
the way that life rolls,
some things'll catch you hard,
then down you go in slow mo'
drowning in dissonance
like a spiral aimed down below.
Gotta keep breathing
even in the cold,
when your heart feels frozen
and you've got nowhere to go
(And they say the heart don't lie,
but it's got me in my mind
all twisted outright,
and it's all that I can do
to keep up my fight for life....
...never mind my silly whines,
I've got to draw upon my strength
and take flight towards the light).
Got to keep the mind straight
and aim for the sky,
like the smoke clearing from the ground,
the goal is to rise,
whether it's only "me", "myself" and "I"
or real soldiers by your side,
one should never allow
the good in life to pass you by.
No matter how hard things may seem
or if it appears
that there's no hope in a dream,
got to continue living for those moments
that give you reason to believe...
...you know what I mean?
I'm talkin about those moments
that fulfill the soul's needs...
...those moments that supercede
all past negativity.
So for love and happiness
you can let your heart bleed,
and for all of them who's true
amongst "friends" and "family",
for the dreams of the future to
manifest in reality,
for the partner who'll be
holding your heart's key,
and last (but not least)...
...for the one you call "me".
Feeling the down is normal
simply due to the human condition,
but before long, the soul meets recognition
of the fact that the mind needs to reposition
the way things are perceived and
the ways one can bring the good to fruition.
I'm still balancing between the walls
that guard me from the world,
and the freedom that I've aspired to
ever since I was a little girl...
...keeping the faith that one day,
all intentions and prayers will not only be heard,
but for the best benefits for all be fully answered.
