The Temper Trap “Sweet Disposition”
It’s been a long pilgrimage one fraught with danger
I’ve taken it all in my stride
The concept a year ago couldn’t be stranger
of no longer living inside
From existing within I took those first steps
away from my anguish and torment
You woke up the nodes the ones I had kept
tucked away formerly dormant
I glanced at the world through the very same eyes
but did so with new found conviction
Imagine my shock at the joyous surprise
that my pain bled straight into my fiction
Not wishing to dally I nurtured this seed
Allowed it to bloom unperturbed
I clutched at my soul and requested it feed
from every last solitary word
Belief was an alien concept to me
before I commenced my ascension
The thought of believing seemed nonsense to me
yet I entered without apprehension
What was there to lose when already lost?
How far deeper down could I plummet?
I invested said soul regardless of cost
and set off in search of my summit
I stand by my choice with no doubt in my mind
my decision is justified daily
I’m finally free now no longer confined
it just took some kindness to save me
Compliments can be a hard thing to hear
sometimes it’s just easier doubting
It’s effortless reclining huddled in fear
declining to take such an outing
I leapt like a salmon I didn’t look down
if I had then the shock may have killed me
As I torpedoed down towards treacherous ground
the concept of falling just thrilled me
Hands all around gently breaking my fall
shielding me until danger subsided
Convinced me to test my legs out and stand tall
and never again be divided
Something bizarre then began to transpire
utterly unprecedented
I learned to empower learned how to inspire
with belief in myself now cemented
Every last one of you lifted me up
each kind word I cherish so dearly
For each reassurance and message of love
is scribed across my heart sincerely
