Where Are You

from Funambule by Sagan Lane

lyrics

I bought a heart of stone for you today
I want you to keep it
When you feel weakened
You can hold onto it tightly

Don’t let it get lost in your sleeve
As you often forget
That your hands slip
Like you mind dips to naivety

You left your gifts unwrapped by the doorstep
They sensed you right away
Entered in, one at a time
Squeezed out till your last straw

Wanting to please, unable to speak
The terrifying word No
One that triggers a fight
Or forces the false to flee

You mistakenly color pretence
Fuelling the force
That’s crushing your voice
Widening their ring for victory

Where are you?
They are walking away
You be whole and stay intact
A self-definition
Without that past self-image
