I came here to heal
my heart was so broken
I needed to play dead
till I found a new one
friend & lover
turned me away
iced extremities
food became my closest friend
now I know
he's not a good friend
frozen in position
I need to thaw
but I can't move till my heart melts
I've committed to this healing place
until I've completed half my studies
should be the perfect amount of time on defrost
I won't take a man right now
I'm afraid of what I might do to please him
so I put myself first
I'm number one
I have to be
otherwise I'll need a third heart
if you're not first
you're last
shake'n bake
once I've healed I'll be able to
decide whether I want
white
or
red
roses
I wanna go fast
but the path to enlightenment
is arduous and slow
I'll get there
hell, I may even get there laughing and smiling
I'm a listener
not a player
the melodies wrap my brain in
a protective layer
courage
friendship
love
all found in verse
poetry in a symphony
knowledge in rap
life in jazz
wait till I thaw
my heart will pump
ferociously
then I'll be healed
then I will move around as the
militant of the North
we are the North
