Waking Up Not Alone

Heyyyyyyy!!! Oh my god it’s you!!! Come over here and give me a hug Let me buy you a drink Take off your boots and stay a while I’ve been missing you so much Been reaching around in the dark for you Been squinting through a fog of tears to see you Been pacing the plank anxious for you to show up and guide me back to the deck YOU…Self I recognize Self who sits steady in the timeline of my existence Self who has a place in the through line of my life Self who fits perfectly within my body Self who is comfortable operating the internal control board Self capable of producing Happy When I try to call it I misfire When I try to call anybody in the emotions department…. Well, that firework has blown up in my face many times If there’s anything I can do to tempt you to stay forever Do not leave me again Do not leave me so scared and alone in this big life I will help you find it more acceptable We can work together on our skills, on coping I promise you, I will put you first Self who lets me relax, lets me smile I will do my utmost to master my fits, not drive you away again I just need your help Your engagement with me is key I want to be a team I’m so very relieved you came back Let’s do this thing! Si se puede! I love you, and I need you Please always remember that
