Feeling pain I’ve become accustomed to numbing myself from
Whether distractions of visual interactions, spirits or cannabis
I avoided feeling my feelings and settled for bliss
Because the world would call it empath, but I know it’s part of my gifts
I feel deeply and hard and pick up on the atmosphere
It isn’t always pleasant, so it became a thing I fear
In my surrender to Yahweh, I laid down those distractions
So now I take these emotions back to Him
To help me work through them,
Rather than avoid them
And before liquor ever touched these lips or weed smoke hit my lungs
I always had this pad and pen
So now I take it back
To where all of this began…….
