Engraved portrait of Andrea Gibson, facing right

Have you ever had the feeling you owe somebody somewhere

a really good reason to live?

To grow old?

To be ninety-eight-and-a-half

with a laugh like broken glass

so whenever folks walk barefoot

they’ll get hidden pieces embedded in their souls?

Have you ever had the feeling you owe somebody somewhere

a really good reason to live?

To grow old?

To be ninety-eight-and-a-half

with a laugh like broken glass

so whenever folks walk barefoot

they’ll get hidden pieces embedded in their souls?

I know there are things I haven't survived
I know there are people in this world who have had to work really hard to survive me,
I don't ever want to take that lightly
But I want the heavy to anchor me brave, to anchor me loving, to anchor me in something that will absolutely hold me to my word
When I tell Cupid I intend to keep walking out to the tip of his arrow,
to bend it back towards myself,
to aim for my goodness; 'til the muscle in my chest tears from the stretch of becoming.
