The cannibal

A cannibal is cutting a hole in your scull

And eating your brain

You think you’re still alive

Still breathing, still feeling, still thinking

But you are mistaken

For what he’s taken

You don’t want it back

You’re comfortable in a trance

Listening to the voices in your head

What are they saying?

Are you really hearing

What you’ve most been fearing

It’s appearing and disappearing

Floating on thin ice

Could you be breaking

The most precious gift ever given

Have you kept it hidden

Not wanting the world to see

Who you really are

Behind the glitter and the stars

If not now then when

When will you stand up for what you believe in

Ready to be true

Break down the barriers

Let the light shine through

Restore and renew

Assess the situation

Have some patients

Have forgiveness

Take your time but don’t waste time

Use the space, don’t take the space

Break the cage

Feel the love
