Extraordinary

I am extraordinary
I've taken my time
Stumbling through till I could claim what was mine
Let my tale be cautionary
Took so long to unwind
All the tangled threads, all of the stories and lies

Wasted so many years
Wondering if I was good enough
Wondering if I was strong
Proof in my body
Proof in my breathing
Proof in my song

I am extraordinary
I wish that you knew
I'll say it again till I'm convinced that it's true
I know I have more than many
I still need you to see
The worth of my work, so don't you patronize me

Wasted so many years
Wondering if I was good enough
Wondering if I was strong
Proof in my body
Proof in my breathing
Proof in my song
Proof in my body
Proof in my breathing
Proof in my song

Beauty is fading
I'm getting older
I can't explain it
I'm still unfolding

I'm so expansive
My skin can't keep up with my body
I am aflame both with rage and delight,
You can't hold me
I am rooted and fruitful,
unmuted and truthful
and holy
I'm a temple, a monument
be still and know me

Proof in my body
Proof in my breathing
Proof in my song
Proof in my body
Proof in my breathing
Proof in my song

I am extraordinary
I am extraordinary
I am extraordinary
I am extraordinary
