The Arrow of Cues

India.Arie you helped me see
that clarity of intention
sculpts the skeleton of results
and the vision of invention

your message haunts why I try
the push for what God wills
and I'd go for my dam dreams
but I have to pay my bills

the life I've built is the obstacle
how to I empty to be filled
how do I take on all I've made
to get passed all I've willed

to tear it all down means loss
Im attached to plan B
this second option is working out
I have a peace, and I feel free

but intuition scolds apprehension
to settle limits God's will
developing a nature dissatisfaction
tortures my present standing still

the life I've built is the obstacle
how do I empty to be filled
how do I take on all I've made
to get passed all I've willed

Im trapped by my freedom to choose
to gain also means to lose
here, detachment means to fuse
action to the arrow of cues
