Feeling

I know I am thinking too much when it’s hard for me to feel
Farris wheels are spinning so fast that the memories become so real

I’m in the fight of my life, don’t worry I got you covered like a shield
This is my mind as it talks and plays games like deal or no deal

I want to know my pain and joy but to know this I have to feel
It’s like trying to open up an envelope to get the prize without breaking the seal

I’m fastened and tied, part of me has died
Maybe it was the love withheld or maybe just the lies
If I hold on to my past, I can’t be in the present moment
Family can feel so divided like a dividend with no quotient

Now it’s time to be, by being me the truth shall set one free
I’ve been blind to feel the pain so now I’m taking of the mask to see

Instead of a fragmented plate, I place the remnants in a bowl
For what others have not loved, I shall love to make my being whole.
