Your little, huge heart cannot settle.
Pulsing with an effort that weakens your airway.

Becca Tapert
Which way do you turn when no way seems right?
Which way do you turn when every way is blurry and youre in a hurry to understand now?
But you know it never works that way.

You never figure out the confusion right away.
It just never happens that way.
One way grabbed you with no doubts.
Time goes by in a blink of an eye.
Youve heard the expression before, but it never meant more than it does right now.
You think youre in the same place you think no big changes have been made.
But I see you blind yourself to the skyscrapers youve filled into your pain-engraved spaces.
You touch the sky in places that the airplane you hear go by cannot reach.
Youve reached a girl you couldnt be before.
You met her right after the places you explored meant nothing anymore.
How are you supposed to know what to say when the world took almost everything away?
This is what I say to all of this… You havent lost yourself.
Be proud of what you have to say.
Now you’re free to say youve fought for yourself in a way no one else could.
Youve stopped your heart from nearly ripping apart.
Youve seen the peace that passes all understanding.
The fire life exploded almost burnt down the only home you had left you.
But you stopped it before you burned all the way to the bone.
Youve been saved by waters that have always wanted to save you.
Dont look away now.
The way your heart is leading.
