Embodied - Source

Cold and terrified

Senses fleeting

My connection to my body’s leaving

It’s just a way to preserve my flesh

So I’m holding on

I’ll fight to stay with myself

And embrace what is happening

I’ll stay with my sensations

Even though it’s nauseating

I’ll experience the misery

For a taste of my humanity

I vow to stay embodied

Though it’s excruciating

Overwhelmed

It’s too real

Make me numb

Don’t want to feel

I can’t keep on dissociating

It’s time to stay here

I can’t keep waiting

Numb and mortified

The voice down deep is

Calling me to hear

My heart that’s screaming

It is a way

To understand myself

So I’m listening

I’ll fight to stay with myself

And embrace what is happening

I’ll stay with my sensations

Even though it’s nauseating

I’ll experience the misery

For a taste of my humanity

I vow to stay embodied

Though it’s excruciating

I know this hurts right now

But I’ll be grateful for this in the end

I know this hurts right now

But I will take and pleasure once again

I stare into the mirror

At two conflicting pieces

I surrender to the burden

The inevitable discomfort

I can’t avoid the turmoil

Its just part of being human

The heaviness surrounds me

I’m chained to my affection

This is not an act of service

This is my oxygen

I can’t survive without this

I’ve seen where that road ends

Either way I will be tortured

But this way provides a taste

Of the sweet sense of purpose

Only few embrace

I’ll fight to stay with myself

And embrace what is happening

I’ll stay with my sensations

Though it’s excruciating

The sorrow is essential

To this sweet and blissful harmony

And If I can stay embodied

I’ll experience humanity

I know this hurts right now

But I’ll be grateful for this in the end

I know this hurts right now

But I will take and pleasure once again
