Chapter 10: A Self Removed

from This Strange Confinement by Dede Booth

/

lyrics

What if I could be the board
instead of the pieces of this game?
Observe the moves at play instead
of playing against myself?

Trying to find a way to win
against my own piece of mind.
Always in a stale mate every time
I make my next move.

Allow it to unfold and be the one who holds
the thoughts and the feelings that try so hard to take hold.

Disengage the play to see how
it could relate to all of this.
Allow myself to see my mind instead
of react to this mess.

Allow it to unfold and be the one who holds
the thoughts and the feelings that try so hard to take hold.

I patiently
wait for my
time to breathe
a self defused
from anger, pain,
sadness, fear.
No doubt or hate,
guilt or shame.

I patiently
wait for my
time to breathe
a self defused
from anger, pain,
sadness, fear.
No doubt or hate,
guilt or shame.

Detach unwind a self removed.
A self remove.
