One day I’d like to know my brain

With no self-imposed perception of danger.

For tomorrow’s me to feel.

It’s always all or nothing in my head.

Everything gets tucked away for another day instead

Of being heard,

Until a whisper brings a thunderstorm.

In the cacophony.

Leave myself a secret breadcrumb trail,

   Am            Em/G           F     G
To lead me to my point a little later.

Of left unheard.

Every single word will be discerned

In a symphony.

In time.

The song fades away, resolved.
