Time is never time at all.

Not a lyric that normally becomes background noise.

I am coming to terms with the reality of things.  Time, it took a lot of it.  I can be enough.  I can believe.


...

I am afraid of heights, again.

Fear is something to pay attention to.

My fear doesn't exist to make me weak;  it's teaching me to be strong.

This fear will teach me to rely on me; to depend on me.  It will teach me to be aware of my weakness and to realize that I am the only one who needs to take care of me.  I am the only person I need.

Wanting is irrelevant.  Need is what matters.

You don't have to understand this, world.  This is for me.

I got my own back.
