Cold certainty down deep Bothers me in my sleep Knock knock jokes, go away I want not what you give today I care to share when I am ready My lifelight burns yet none too steady I cannot go those ways with you I cherish life but 'tis not true That I must give way to the power Burning life force finest hour Push me not, hold me softly I move as triggered, as I cough When cough I must but Cannot stand the pressure beating On my drums! Come come come It pounds and booms and still my Soul plays sad sweet tunes No longer dare I miss the turns For healing do I long and yearn I want it! Now! I want it my way! And don't tell me to hit the highway Should I fail to dance the Tunes you play. Goddam it, I would have a say in Healing's progress, path and rate I will not hand to you my fate I trust you not, I know you less And in my blood I fear your tests. This is not your ship to captain! I am here too, I am queen here For the present, I hold dear to Path I chose as life should be. Standoff? Squareoff? Stand by me And I will shift my stance with thee.
