Sshhh!!!

This goes out to anyone who would like to take the time to step inside my mind. We'll call it "sshhh!!!"

Sshhh!!!  There was a whisper just now

 Did you hear it too?

 That voice that's been talking to me

 May also be talking to you

 It's time to make some moves

 If not us, then who?

 I've wondered why I havn't heard

 That voice in so long

 And that got me thinking

 You see

 I'm not dead

 I've just been sleeping

 Sleeping in a place where I don't feel

 And I didn't even know

 That I forgot what is real

 The question

 How, how, HOW does that happen?

 Really got me thinking

 You see

 I'm NOT dead

 I've just been sleeping

 but Sssshhh!!!

 I just heard it again

 And I hear you too

 Saying well what is it?

 What have we been missin

 Sssshhh!!! 

 Be quiet, be still, and just listen

 I hear it again

 Louder and louder

 I can no longer pretend

 That I haven't been missing

 All the joy, passion, all the fire that once lit my soul

 For a chunk of my life now, I havn't been whole

 For a season I've grown used to not feeling

 And I'm no longer afraid to admit

 I'm in need of a healing

 So bring it on and bring it all

 All the tears all the pain

 All the hurt all the rain

 Because I'd rather feal real than

 EVER feel dead again

 And I'd rather feel the turmoil of that awful void

 Because if I can feel that

 Then I can also feel joy

 So read these words

 And feel them if you can

 If you have to ask what I mean

 You wouldn't understand

 I'm awake

 I'm alive

 And doing all that I can

 And I'll tell you whats more I've been singing again

 And nothing can match the song I now sing

 No man, no high, no material thing

 Ahhh, what a revalation

 Let freedom ring!

 My spirit's been dormant you see

 But today I woke overflowing with poetry

 Music is in the air I breath

 It is love It is life It is ME!

 It's been long past due to say goodbye to the old days

 Time to put aside childish ways

 Nothing GOOD can come of BAD habits so I'll leave them behind

 And instead of fighting outloud

 I'll fight with my grind

 Ssshhh!!!

 Remember the voice talking to me may also be speaking to you

 And trust me I know this lesson may be hard to do

 I know what it's like to grow up fast and try to claim childhood at a later time

 So take this moment now

 Mourn your losses

 NOW leave them behind!

 See, there is nothing enlightening about shrinking back

 So when life comes for you

 Get ready Attack!

 Ssshhh!!! There was a whisper just now

 Did you hear it too?

 The little voice talking to me

 May also be talking to you

 It's time to make some moves

 If not us, then who?

 I've wondered why I havn't heard that voice in so long

 And that really got me thinking

 You see

 I'm NOT dead

 I've just been sleeping

 But I woke up and to myself a better friend

 And whats more...I'm singing again

 And now, I'll never EVER try to steal your shine

 But it's time for me now to get it

 And claim what is mine

 And only once you understand all of this can you truly thrive

 You might have a pulse

 But are you really alive?
