alone together

i developed a lump in my throat and a knot in my lower chest.

you've gotta do what makes you free
and nothing less
saddle up and get going
alone

no that word isn't depressed or upset
alone
no it isn't so horrible being
alone

it's necessary when you're going
to be able to be
alone

and settled to some extent

and unsettled relentlessly

what makes me free.
what makes me.
what i make
now that's all that's at stake
get ready, surroundings
you're gonna change
so am i

like a chemical reaction
when i arrive
sure, i'll come out alive
after the war of two pliable
entities, highly reactive
both equally reliable to acheive
all that describes change
together, the confident loners
smile and in a flash
the colors change

like a sunset.
and the controlling force
comes from the inner voice
of every particle of every part
of every place.
may it be time, rhyme, or lines on a page
change stands alone
on the tip of dawn's tongue
waiting to rise
and open our eyes. to eachother.
after learning to be
alone.
