Major Tom

I just opened my hand and it vanished away.

No need for grasping or rejection.

This isn’t me or mine, this isn’t I.

I’m not walking away because

there is nothing to walk away from.

There is just a void around me,

a vacuum I tried to fill with delusions,

and the delusions just disappeared

when I tried to touch them.

Now I feel the stillness of the void,

the calm, the silence, the weightlessness.

There’s nobody else in here, just me,

it’s scary, facing reality is scary.

I just go by leaking my love away,

bleeding my love away.

It is received sometimes,

it gets lost sometimes, but

I have more, so much more.

The bleeding still hurts a little,

even so I just can’t stop it.

I opened myself, I cut myself,

I destroyed myself.

I see my cracks and missing pieces,

there is light underneath,

love, blood and light leaking

through my broken body.

I keep going forward,

there is no stopping now.

I must trust the impulse I ignited.

It is what it is,

nothing more.

It is what it is,

and that is enough.
