Another Life
In another life
I let myself be chained
And am completed by you
In another life
I am childless and free
And translating philosophy
In another life
I starve myself thin
And am made happy by it
In another life
I am full and thick
And find myself in my folds
In another life
I fly across the globe
And feel only freedom
In another life
My home is enough
And I am happily grounded
In another life
I am born in chaos
And my soul is owned by it
In another life
I grow in serenity
And I am formed by tranquility
In another life
I move curvy in my skin
Unashamed outside and in
In another life
I am statuesque
And sturdiness is second nature
In another life
I play music loud and lusty
And in it find enlightenment
In another life
Silence and stillness come easily
And lay themselves on me like a blanket
In another life
I am tightly caged
And I scream the truth at wall flies
In another life
I am speaking from podiums
And slicing words with precision
In another life
I am animal, petted and loved
And my instinct is stilled
In another life
I am stalking and hunting
And feeding my hunger by night
In another life
I never think of that other life
And my restlessness stays static
But in this life
This and there are intertwined
And I am certain the other holds an answer
