Moment of Relief (2/9/07)

I know I’m far from perfect and I live without a purpose
Sometimes all the drama can run rings around a circus
But I know for certain that my life is swinging sky high
I’m almost over the issues that clouded up my mind’s eye
Working at a job now where I seem to find contentment
It tends to be a change of pace from living with resentment
When every other sentence was full of more uncertainty
Or complaints about the world and all of it’s absurdity
And I say it now so nervously, but I think I found direction
I put emotion on the side and only focus on perfection
The feelings and the fire will have to come another time
Right now I need to calculate and come up with another rhyme
A lightning and a thunder line, something with conveyance
To take what I’ve been thinking of, with eloquance, portray it
So I can light it up and save it and pray for understanding
This has been the tool that has softened every landing
Getting me to places where I know the words to speak with
And clearing up my thoughts, giving strength instead of weakness
Guiding me to now, to this time when I feel alright
A moment of contentment before I hit another wall, right?
Cause I know it’s far from over, there is more around the corner
A lifetime of embattlement where words are soul and water
Quenching every thirst and lifting me back to my feet
In this moment that I’m alright, in this moment of relief
