Beyondness

You can't be a life dropout

you've got to learn to live without

that numbness, that dread

embrace the accidents instead

Don't wait ten years to speak your mind 

don't stay unharmed from love and safe from wrong

you may still not know what you're looking for

but that's not where you start

Well, don't you know?

It makes a difference to change

to own yourself

and your beyondness.
