10.0

Time pass by, tic toc stop

Freeze in an instant that all that I need

To breathe in this moment like an infant’s first breath

I am not the same, how can I expect-

Expectations to be great to come back stronger than ever

To regain what I lost and to not loose it again

My mind is stretched as far as it can go

My body keeps pushing through, she wants more

I can overcome the fear I face

Because I am not the same

Ill begin and it will be revealed

That I cannot loose what was never lost

I use my hands they are my controllers

And I will not let go of what is holding me here

Sometimes its an adjust, a switch a change

Not matter what I do I let my fingers embrace

The hold is rough it should be rigid and yet

It bends with the weight of my body and soul

Almost gentle like a petal resting in your palm

Tic toc… my hold it stops

And I must release my controllers from this hold

I watch as I fly and the world spins with force

And as the air around me is swept with dust that leave its mark upon my hands

My feet receive the ground and I realize

I am done, I have done all I can do

I walk away, and the judges can judge on their expectations

And it was Perfect
