higher than a mountaintop
the road is steeper than it seems
the road is hard and bare and mean
longer than the ocean’s tides
the wait is pain and wants to leave
but when it goes you cannot breathe
suddendly it dawns on me
she’s in love but can’t provide
she is a saint but don’t ask why
she is a rock but never cries
she sits alone and holds her breath
she wonders how she made her way
to find herself here in this place, she said
”suddenly, it dawns on me
i am a child at heart
i wake up and move in robotic steps
each day like the next no, i never rest
if i keep on moving i’ll always be safe
i don’t ever learn”
suddenly it dawns on me
i am a child at heart
