In Utero Monologue
Alone with my thoughts
It’s dark and warm
It feels safe
That strong pounding
Steady heart beat
Pumps life into me as I wait
I wait and wait to forget
That’s the rules of the game
I come from heaven
But agreed to leave it behind
I have a game plan
But I need to become a clean slate
That’s the rules of the game
I wait to burst onto the world
Discover and experiment on my own
Pick up clues here and there
Put the pieces together
Trying to remember
Everything I’ve forgotten
That’s the rules of the game
