Healed in the North

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
