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
