It All comes down to Words

....and children stare at you, and animals rush towards you...

If you have that feeling of being extraordinary,

and you always feel extraordinary

then never be shook by your extraordinary experiences.

Like you can never hide,

like you’re perpetually visible - adored or condemned,

like you’re praised so intensely it feels uncomfortable,

like some who are drawn to you can’t connect,

like some who can’t connect find it easier to make you their enemy,

like you’re mostly misunderstood, often misconstrued,

like sometimes you are sometimes manipulated or misrepresented by those you trust,

like it takes the concerted force of people seemingly stronger than you to break you

Like you want to believe you’re the problem, like you might be crazy,

like you know you might not be crazy after all,

like you're probably something else.

and you live by surrender, and you observe

and you make sense of things slowly but inevitably,

and some can’t stand your first glance,

and sometimes you feel your natural protection is gone,

you only got words to defend yourself

and children stare at you

and animals rush towards you

and couples drift towards you

and people peer over your shoulder to see what you’re doing

and you’re just there…

however, words get you

only words seem to get you,

it absorbs you

words - and within.
