Redeeming
You were born with theologies aroundRuling what you think and have in mind
Misunderstandings were truly there found.
You never questioned and just accepted
What voices said not to be neglected
You were punished by so called God's rejected
You were refused to touch and be caressed
You never knew your bigness to withholding
You were belittled and weird through your concerning
You asked me for a chance
And you quelled through this storm
And you saved your heart safe and warm.
And I fell in love with your freak dream
To some precepts you're supposed to redeem
Going downstream
Your feelings were always in a cage
Scared and threatened to be so free
Feasting on scraps sadly to age
The transcendent wisdom of emptiness
Against what could be right or wrong
You deepened your belief and loneliness
You didn't long
And I supported you in your questions
And I accepted all your non-cessions
And I feel in love with your wild dream
Breaking the holy scheme
And you're so sorry to yourself now
Hiding love and wish somehow
It's a new feeling you embrace and vow.
And if you give up on your powerlessness
I will be there to be your endlessness
Figuring out it could be your happiness
Self-protections have overprotected
When you are unapologetically
Thrilled to be overjoyed and be wary
When you are really shy and scary...
