You are needed where your heart feels the most broken

Where your lips quiver at even the thought of all the words left unspoken

Where your pain wraps you up and swallows you whole

Where you planned, you plotted, and clearly outlined your goal:

To get out, to escape, to run far and never return

This is the land where your bones rattle and your soul’s fire burns

You are needed where your heart feels the most broken

‘Cause life’s like a game at the circus, and your pain is your token

It will disappoint you most of the time, and you’ll feel you’re coming up short

But I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you, please don’t abort

Your efforts in this game of life that you’ll play

Where you’ll learn some real and tough lessons along the way

The ones that you chose, before whence you came

You even hand-picked all of the people you could blame

But blame is a humanity thing, if you didn’t already know

You love them and you asked them to come here to show

You how to get the things that you want for your Highest Self

It may not look like fame, a sea of friends, or even excessive wealth

But it will be what you need to help you evolve along the way

Trust your instincts when you want to leave but they tell you to stay

Despite the fire in your soul and the pain that rattles your bones

Because it’s the trauma that will surface and you’ll come due on your loans

Find your space, find your people, it’s all going to be okay

Don’t forget, it was all pre-planned any-fucking-way
