growing pains

Growing pains
Forever growing pains
That when you really know it's pain
That everywhere you go it's pain
Heaven bound, yet the only road in glowing flames
Some are known to prey, others only known to pray
Divine timing there ain't no delays
Running through this maze had me thinking I was slow to change
Years of pain, just a handful of sober days
Think of what we overcame, freezing through the snow and rain
Winter warriors: rain, snow, hail or shine
Devils dancing in this little pretty hell of mine
Summertime survivors, felt it when you heard the story
Pretty hell or dirty heaven? Maybe purgatory
Spring clean, when you fall in a pit
Recharge, when you stall in the midst
And put your all in this shit
And I still think of calling it quits
They say its weak but we call it legit
I put my all in this shit
I put my all in this shit
When I go I hope they know I put my all in this shit
I put my all in this shit
How you meant to reach if you're balling your fists?

Calloused palms, numb fingers, I twitch when I write
Passionate poetry
My cells on fire
My molecules sing

It's genetic
We're the foundation of art
Pain painted in colour
Confusion confessed in words
The world is mine
When my palms are open

So l unclench my fists
Watch as water seeps through my fingers
The burn is healing and
The breeze doesn't sting on closed wounds

The world is mine
When my palms are open

So l unclench my fists and let my cells sing
