Dragonfly I

I steady my posture
Take a deep breath like I'm at my alter
Visualize my destination so I know I'll never falter
Try to pick my feet up
Take it one step at a time
I'm lying if I tell you I ever passed the starting line

My breathing gets heavy
I feel my hand shaking
My legs turn to jelly
I hear my will breaking
How long is this taking?

Maybe the Gods were mistaken
Maybe their faith in me is waning
Maybe it's mine for the taking
I try to get outta my head
Focus on breathing instead
I hear a voice telling me

Gone, Dragonfly
Don't waste my time
I know it's time for you to take flight

I been sitting here waiting I know that you're aching
But how could I just leave you behind

Now, Now, Dragonfly
Do you want to see what the world has to offer?
Find the riches Santiago set out for?
Do you wanna let your dreams be a thing of the past? (No)
An Itch you never scratch? (No)
Take off and let me be the last
Goodbye

I take a step
Then I look back before I take another
Those crying eyes remind me of my mother's
Wind blows past my shoulders
Winds ready to take me off my feet
Skin dark enough to take the heat

Each step starts getting lighter
Breeze lifting me higher
Won't call myself Messiah
But hope that I can inspire
The eyes I meet in the mirror
Hope that his vision clears
Hope he surpass my fears
Hope he stand up for the queers
I hear my voice say

Gone, Dragonfly
Don't waste my time
I know it's time for you to take flight

I been sitting here waiting I know that you're aching
But how could I just leave you behind

Now, Now, Dragonfly
Do you want to see what the world has to offer?
Find the riches Santiago set out for?
Do you wanna let your dreams be a thing of the past? (No)
An Itch you never scratch? (No)
Take off and let me be the last

Gone, Dragonfly
Don't waste my time
I know it's time for you to take flight

I been sitting here waiting I know that you're aching
But how could I just leave you behind

Now, Now, Dragonfly
Do you want to see what the world has to offer?
Find the riches Santiago set out for?
Do you wanna let your dreams be a thing of the past? (No)
An Itch you never scratch? (No)
Take off and let me be the last
Goodbye
