Nothing has changed, I’ve been afraid since I arrived,
By no surprise
I’m made of bone, I’m made of stone,
I’m made of clay, I will decay,
I’m breaking down
I still remind myself of someone I despised,
Who saw the lessons ‘fore their eyes
Then pushed aside
Just to remain supposed blind to all they gave
Peace I found when I retreated for a rest
It’s not defeat, it’s just a play
This game of chess a reflection of
The best of all our ways
I am afraid to lay a claim on all I’ve failed to rearrange
To fit the mold of all I know that I should be
And how best to serve all that I meet
I run from God each time I take a shot
To numb the shame in having not
Come farther in my time
Which hinders further chance to shed more light
Ain’t it a shame that spirals swallow
All the chances I could borrow time and time again
To reinvent the lessons
I already understand
