Sans ma peau

 

Je me gratte, je le sens, je mue, je fonce

Ma peau se craquèle, s’effrite et pèle

Sourde à la douleur, je me frotte aux ronces

Avide de poser ce manteau de fiel

◊

Je dois le faire, saisir cette ultime chance

Avant que le froid, ce cœur ne gèle

Car terrible serait sa vengeance

Prendre ? Donner ? Dilemme existentiel

◊

Fébrile, je tâtonne, je trébuche, j’avance

Faisant fi de ce doute qui me harcèle

Ce ne sera point la dernière danse

Goût d’amande, goût de cendres, goût de miel

◊

Pas à pas, comme une poupée en transe

A ce sang inconnu, le mien je mêle

Docile, je n’oppose aucune résistance

Devant moi les prés, au-dessus le ciel

◊

Je m’ouvre, m’offre, me vide de ma substance

Sang pour sang, car le sang, sang appelle

Qu’importent désormais les conséquences

Viens à moi, s’il le faut, Ange Gabriel

◊

Ainsi donc, elles s’apaisent, les souffrances

Cœur de pierre, se vidant, dégèle

Ne pouvant plus dans ces circonstances

Quitter ce sombre monde artificiel

Looking within

 

I look behind, I look around

Some broken wing I might have found

I try to take off from the ground

Flapping, desperate, the faulty sound

 

I look around, I look behind

Traps, perils of my own free mind

Alas am I again to find

A dreary end, a halting grind?

 

I look before, I look around

Will life again me stun, astound

A piece of flesh, a gram, a pound

I’ve paid the price, stand back ye hound

 

I look around, I look before

Hopes a penny, yet threats galore

Poked at my ribs, my dreams just tore

Of pain I’ve filled, will take no more

 

I look before, I look within

Frail hopes glimmer, chances so thin

A stray dolphin ripped of her fin

Did life just end, did it begin?

 

I look within, I look before

Loving mother, that is my core

I think it up, my mind goes sore

Lover, partner or just street whore?

 

I look about, I look and block

My mind so numb, still deep in shock

Would I become a laughing stock?

Another girl, sought on the block?

 

I look and block, I look and weep

Is it yet there for me to keep

I opened up and loved so deep

A second, still thousands to seep

 

I look and weep, I look and block

A cloak I wear, an iron frock

Doubts, fear, despair, a dirty sock

He is my man, he is my rock

 

I look and block, I look about

My strength is there, my shoulders stout

Something within that just calls out

Whispers peace, I heed, need not shout

 

I look no more for him I found

In two we’ll share another round

In me I feel it still resound

Head in the skies, feet on the ground

Move

 

Move

Don’t look back at yesterday

Brooding will only delay

The vital work of today

 

Move

Problems always come your way

Resolve them you often may

Never ever let them stay

 

Jump

Leave all worries right behind

Rely on such a strong mind

Life will not be so unkind

 

Jump

To hurdles you may be blind

Those in front, so nicely lined

Strength, faith you will always find

 

Soar

A leap of faith you must make

The future is yours to take

For theirs and for your own sake

 

Soar

Eagles fly while ants will crawl

Ants may reach or not at all

Seek the peaks, fear not the fall

Sprint for business

 

I gather my strength and run, I run

I speak to angels lined before me

Finding capital is not such fun

Catch a fallen angel turned VC

♦

Present your plan, talk, smile, take the pun

Of another play this does remind

Yet tireless, rejection I do shun

Hope, faith, recourses of a strong mind

♦

Sun shining through my window like none

My kids playing, enjoying the day

I type away while they scream as one

My dreams grow stronger looking their way

♦

Let’s rest for today’s work has been done

Enjoy with family, friends, rejoice

Tomorrow again I will face one

I will be heard for I have a voice
