Goddess

my freedom

my release in this moment

oh, how i thank my lucky skies!

that you are nothing like me

& i nothing like you

so very true

you’ll never see the world the way i see her

i see this magic everywhere

in everything

you’ll never hear music the way i hear it

i feel it deep in my body as i listen

music videos i conjured up playing in my brain like a film

cierro los ojos

y imagino cositas tan lindas

bellas, lleno de amor

my heart

so pure

my light

so bright

your presence in my life didn’t snuff it out for good

even you don’t have that kind of power

& now that i am of rid you, it shines even brighter

now that i am healed from you, more beautiful thoughts form in my mind

to higher places they go

my voice more clear

riffs roll right off the tongue

my words more eloquent & sincere

they flow more effortlessly than ever

my space more peaceful & serene

my soul rests here

no longer afraid

you were a lesson

this i know all too well

one that showed me what life would be like

what i would have to give up, let go of, & forget about

if i kept you forever

the price was too high

my happiness & livelihood suffered

no longer

i could never give that kind of power away again

i called it back to me

my desire to create has returned

it is my second nature

my art, limitless

it knows no bounds

i am an artist

i shall do what artists do
