my hands are cold
my body shivering
an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
a dream for a dream
sacrificing your dreams--my dream--for yours
I want to pull you up with all my strength
Watch you soar, succeed
but I cannot let myself fall behind
I will not stand behind you
perhaps, by your side
a dream for a dream
close enough to combine?
no, not exactly
"I can show you the world"
But I want the world, and so much more.
I want more than the loose change in your pockets.
I want real change.
To destroy walls
burn the unstable bridges we must cross
to see each others' world
push land together and re-soil our foundation
a dream for a dream
I am warming up to the idea
of all the things a womyn must sacrifice
I want to run at lightening speed
here I am floating
radiant in my porcelain skin and blushing cheeks
glowing deep big brown eyes
a muñeca hanging on the wall
my hands cold
my body shivering
mind flooded with thoughts
and a heart that cannot contain all the love she's got to give
an eye for an eye
tit for tat
my dreams, a sacrifice
how much am I willing to hold myself back
how much time have I already sacrificed?
great love, great achievement.
Great love versus great ACHIEVEMENT?
the answer is always great risk.
