Look - Rachael Sage

i look around at all my friends

and what their hearts are wearing

rosaries of anti-joy

i look around at where the rainbows end

inside their jaded eyes

i know there must be more to this crazy life

but there’s comfort in the light

look away from me now when you look my way again

i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain

look away from me now when you look way again

i will not feel this shame i will not feel this rain

on my skin

i look around at all this fear

and hesitation that we feel

orbiting our own private universe

it makes me laugh the way i

recycle each emotion i have

a million times until it passes the test

of proving i’m still blessed

look away from me now when you look my way again

i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain

look away from me now when you look way again

i will not feel this shame i will not feel this weight

of the world upon human shoulders

it’s a long way it’s a long road

it’s a long way to get home…

i look around at all my friends

and how their hearts are breaking

underneath the weight of possibility

and it’s so hard to keep your faith

when all you can see is the

pale blue ocean sky falling down

but there’s wisdom underground

it’s a long way it’s a long road

it’s a long way to get home…

look away from me now when you look my way again

i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain

i will i will i will…

live my heart
