The Stars Meet The Sky

Found old high school memories, old friends faces, and their notes scrawled on paper
Looking back, I realized I had drive, I had an unbreakable spirit
Nothing could ever bring me to my knees, no person could ever bring me down
I pushed myself to be better, I pushed others to be better than me

I think an old high school mentor I had put it the best way

"You're a strong kid, you've overcome a lot, and have a leg up over most people you're age. Always keep pushing yourself"

I read that, I read it aloud, I even spelled it out
Didn't hit me
I looked through the eyes of someone else at things I've done
That's when it hit me

What I create, what I cook, what I do to me is normal
It's my vision, I already have dreamed it up in my mind
What it will look like, taste like, smell like, what it will be
So, really to me it isn't anything new

But stopping to sit down and look, not just look, but through a foreign set of eyes
Stopping to read through a different brain, not my own for once
Speaking words through a tongue that isn't attached to me
Looking down at my hand, what my ignorance and frustration caused

I know my calling, I found it, but someone made me question it
Something burning inside me caused me to be weary
But in the end, today I finally heard what I should have been listening to the entire time
My heart
