The Switch | A sketch by Melanie JaneSubscribe now Do I have it in my mind? Do I have it in my soul? Do I exhibit the pieces that will make me whole?Am I unable to see them Because I have pushed the understanding down Deep inside of me? Is it because of the fear Of how they will take sight That I negate them To dismiss the pain that a misunderstanding could bring to light?Has my system adapted To instead search around? Gain insight from others To find the place in which my feet should next hit the ground?Do the wonderings and visions of my life that come to me Feel so scary and different To ever allow others to see?Am I immersed in fear and worry each day When thinking about finding the life where my soul leads the way?Is there a crippling sensation That wreaks a sense of heartbreak on my being When I grapple with the barriers That my mind has created within me?The thoughts about my life The questions that I face throughout my days The insight into my purpose That feels hidden, Tucked away.The desire to keep my switch Barricaded up Locked in its position Unable to move Permanently stuck.The switch to my inside To my raw persona and being The switch that keeps me open That allows me to remain attuned to the authentic me.Do I have it in my mind? Do I have it in my soul? Do I exhibit the pieces that will make me whole?Is my mind unable to see Because this life is difficult to control?There is this profound sense of doubt When trying to mold the insights in my mind Into this world throughout.
