Element
Well rounded concerns pour from your mouth
like rhetoric from a jar
Expired outdated medicine from the dark ages
of well meaning intentions

Could you know
Could you ever see that I would love you to love me here in my element

Misfitted hand me down paradigms
I bought from you
The way kids always do

No refund no return
Why should I wear well that truth
Why can’t I sell mine to you?

Could you know it
Could you ever see
I would love you to love me here in my element

Your shadow is long
my spirit is wide
There must be a place I don’t have to hide
Tiptoe around your blue
Out of my way for you
Heart on sleeves stains, much to your chagrin
Why should I pretend
I’m spilling out again

Gracefully thriving, finally more than dreaming
Worthy of your praise, your pride, your bond
I wish you could celebrate what you have grown
The best part of you that caught on

Whether you ever know or whether you ever see
I will love you & be free here in my element

Here in my element
