EMERGENCE
Lyrics written and owned by Chantele Delaine
I've just crawled out of the cave
Just learned I've got these things called legs
Which compel me to move to higher ground
I had discovered
I could move myself
Once chains fell from me unbound
I can see clearer now
Shadows retreat from my eyes
I bite from the apple
And relegate myself to what I surmise
Complies to my needs' hierarchy
At least I have comfort
I have say in this new reality
Here I am still alive
Despite or because of all I have survived
Perceptions of old no longer hinder me
Are they just obstacles
Or perhaps
They lead to liberty?
Sometimes circumstances
Peg me further up or down the pole
Some of them may or not be
Beyond my immediate control
But I no longer fear the fall
Just gives me time
To work on my condition overhaul
