Flame-Licked Heels
I’ve been working on
Coming back from
The dead
Realising reality
Living in this world
Becoming me
I don’t have to know who I am
But I must know that I am
I am, I am, I am
I don’t have to know what I am
To deserve to be
I’m working on being,
Just being
Because I’ve been existing
Mindless, automatic, numb
Best autopilot, me
Coming back from the dead
I wasn’t in Hell, I was in Oblivion
I arrive with flame-licked heels
Asking to feel
And I know
That means feeling pain, fear, and despair too
But being is feeling,
And I want to be
So that is why I’m
Scraping, clawing, working,
Trying, pushing, pulling
My way back to life
With flame-licked heels
Connecting to the core
Breathing, seeing, feeling,
Being
With flame-licked heels
Yes!
Living takes exhaustive effort, stress, strain
Easy to push that off-button
Shut down
And give up
But I want back from that
So, I’m coming back
With flame-licked heels
I return
To live again
With flame-licked heels
Because if I know,
It becomes
And I know myself,
I am becoming
Even if I come with flame-licked heels
I’m she
So, look
And watch me
Becoming
Become
Be!
