One By One

Here I go

learning to stand on my own two feet again

I’ll do it all myself because I have to

To rely on someone else

is to sacrifice yourself

at the altar of a god

that doesn’t have to listen

but just demands obedience

And I was willing to provide

but that’s not at all sustainable

My life’s always been built

around someone else

It’s time I start rebuilding

for myself

Brick by boring brick

I’ll stack it one by one

until I can no longer see the sun
