River, can you heal me?
Wake me from the walking dead?
Wash me of my past and make me present once again?
Carry me onward toward a dawn and out of the dark.
I’m your wounded vessel, your slow beating heart.
And I do fear the unknown.
So, River, will you keep your current slow?
I’ve been holding strong but folding from the thought of what has come.
I went running from someone who could not love the way I love, then I went numb.
River, take my travels beyond your channel and out to sea.
Those are friendly waters, there are no beasts there that frighten me.
Carry me upward toward a dawn and out of the dark.
I’m your wounded vessel, but I’m still breathing at my bow.
And I do fear the unknown.
So, River, will you keep your current slow?
I’ve been holding strong but folding from the thought of what has come.
I went running from someone who could not love the way I love, then I went numb.
River, gather ‘round me.
River, set me free.

Let me not forget my privilege.
I had no hand in it.
I thank my parents
For watching over me when I was young,
Showing me with ease the worth of love,
I’m lucky that I know.
Let me not forget my direction-
Navigate my path with some perspective.
“I’m not the only one who’s battled seein’ black,”
I said aloud while it hovered at my back.
I knew it soon would pass.
I’d like for you to know that I’ve been home, free floating.
Chin upon my knees: “the whole damn world is ending.”
And I don’t want to live out all my days pretending
That I never needed someone’s love to keep surviving.
Let me not forget, I have the gift of time
Let me embrace the now, know that it is mine.
Let me be the lark suspended in the sky,
Fearing not the fall that follows every high.
Maybe that’s just life.
I’d like for you to know that I’ve been home free floating.
Chin upon my knees: "the whole damn world is ending."
I don’t want to live out all my days pretending...
I have always needed someone’s love,
I will always need someone's love to keep surviving.
