The Safety Plan

Day one's actually living life
I let my fear slip out of sight
I had my dress on tight
My face was vague and my eyes were wide open

My ambitions are mispronounced
Here I am if you don't pounce
I'll stand my ground
Before I tell myself it's time to leave

When I walked I wasn't small
I crossed the street, ready for the claws
People lost in midday thoughts
A few stared back, it made my lungs
Feel earthquakes

No one knows your safety plan
We're all biting an empty hand
Too much is significant
It all cancels itself out in the end

What's defined is in the heart
There's a pull that makes two marks
We are scattered through flame and ash
We are lucky to find someone we care for

When I closed the door behind me
I looked out and watched the snow melt
The woodstove then began to stir
If there's ambivalence in me, I hope it heard
