He came at me out of the blue
Suddenly just appeared I wasn’t sure what to do
All of my defences they fell to the wayside
I think I even lost my pride
I fell into a trance
It felt like such a merry little dance
I tuned into the music and I swished, and I swayed
Together what wonderful music we made
Then it all turned to dust
And in the moment, I felt death was a must
Where did you go?
What did I do?
Was this already it?
What happened to the light we once lit?
I spent an eternity in mourning
Not realising the darkness, I was adorning
Then I found a treasure that had escaped me many moons ago
I lost it at an all-time low
And somehow in all this madness it came back to me
It allowed me to be open and to see
Out of the ashes of us I rose
I let that door behind me close
I spiraled higher than I’d ever flown
My mind was blown
So, I thank you for appearing
And also, for disappearing
I thank you for breaking me into a thousand pieces
Because it helped me smooth out all my creases
And now,
For the first time in forever,
I am here,
I am present,
I am shining,
I am me.
I AM
