[ Bow ]

My body is every natural disaster, contained by the skin, bursting out of the seams
of my heart and of my eyes, my fingers they burn as a wildfire
I am touching you, yes, leaving my mark
And I'm the only one who feels it
The rivers are bursting again and I am happy
I am free, I ask how I could have ever forgotten
How have we ever forgotten
What it's like to walk and breathe
To become lost in the arms of honesty
I bury my face and smother it, I'll never breathe a contained breathe again
Not one polluted by your opinion, not one uttered by your judgement
Leave me to cry. And let the tears cleanse not only my body, through every pore, but my soul
I am justified by my soul, I am aware because my heart beats
It's only till the lights go out that I know it's over.
Leave me to be broken. Leave my body bruised.
I am the only one, the only who will understand.
