Stuck
Do you ever feel stuck
Like you just can’t move
Your feet be wide and heavy
Cement flows in your shoes
When you want to get it done
And fear it over takes
Thinking this..and that..and then
Mind coals get over raked
Of not feeling good enough
It’s all that you can do
To cajole out the courage
And ask your bricks to move
Cmon you slow and heavy things
Beg them....”See me through!!!”
One small step this way or that
Choked as you reprove
Your worthiness relies on it
It’s all it can afford
Though you break your back on it
Straining cut those cords
That hold you down so easily
Like a great fish net
The more you struggle..you find out
The more you’re stuck....you bet
Until you calm and realize
It’s all within your breath
To heave one big heavy sigh
Not forward to your death
As you breathe and stay close in
The chords they fall away
Solid net all bundled up
You leave it on the quay
Boots of brick and stone are next
Kick them off you will
Or at least....wiggle out
With great ease and skill
No net now to hold you down
No feet made of stone
Body moves so freely
Seeping in your bones
You are light as air....you see
Your worth won’t tie you down
Because you have ability
Your hands won’t let you drown
The world is out there waiting
For you to just believe
To know that you can do it
Hearts pinned upon your sleeve
A Heart that used to bleed and cry
Whereas the tough got going
When you’re calm and still enough
Your heart fills up with knowing
The things that held you back
Dark imaginings at best
All self doubt and loveless moments
Filling up your chest
It’s not true...you know sweet friend
Stone boots and tangled nets
They are there so you can see
The other side of fence
And when you jump right over
Alignment it will bring
Knowing that you weren’t that stuck
Because
Your doubts
Became
Your
Wings
So this is a story
And it’s all about being
Super scared
And when that happens
It’s ok
Because we need to see the other side of things to focus in on the whole picture.
You know when you feel stuck
Like you are trying to move forward
But these invisible forces hold you back....
I’ve been feeling this way for a few months now
And I wanted to share this with you incase you have been feeling that too.
And I wanted you to know you aren’t alone.
I ‘m just now starting to feel
Unstuck
It’s feeling good and I hope it lasts
I hope this will give me the courage and strength of heart to jump in with both feet
And launch
Letter Kite
This little album is holding so much energy that I want to honour and let go of.
And I would love for you to honour it with me when it comes out.
It would mean the world to me.
It really really would
I also want to tell you
I miss you lots
And I miss singing with you
And for you
And to you
So I wanted to write this as a little reminder for us all that even when self doubt creeps in and you find you are stuck in your armour.....
there is always another side to the story....
Somewhere
Waiting
around the corner
