There is a me that I could be by Lebo Mashile

There is a me that I could be

If I just let her breathe outside.

A thundering song that I could sing

If I just let her breathe outside.

There is a me who lives unseen

She paces the corridors inside

She’s made of dreams that flow in between

These walls in my mind

She’s my internal shadow traversing time

The relentless hope that slowly seeps through my eyes

Like the sun draped dawn,

She never asks why it is her job to ignite me,

Her purpose, to be my guide

To the me that I could be

If I just let her breathe outside

To the thundering song that I could sing

If I just let her breathe outside

Transformation is the spirit changing gear.

The elements of one’s being becoming aware

That the future is always far

When your feet are firmly planted here

Attached to the present

Rooted in fear

Change is the pulse of possibility

Pulling from the periphery to the now

It is the questions unanswered

The journey through the why’s and the how’s

It is a sojourn through darkness with a solitary flame as guide

It is the sole destination, the navigator and the ride

It is the blue light revelation revealed when morning cracks

It is abundance when you have known how it feels to live is lack

It is the race, the car, the ref, the scorecard and the track,

It is eyes fixed to the horizon with angels at your back

It is the purpose held with reverence reverted to when doubt attacks

It is an energizing uncertainty leaving no option of turning back

Always shifting

Always present

Demanding of us to be more than who we see ourselves to be

Than what we were before

Tomorrow is an infinite portal with no ceiling and no floor

There is only the ledge that beckons us

And wings designed for us to soar

There is a me that I could be

If I just let her breathe outside

A thundering song that I could sing

If I just let her breathe outside

There is a me who lives unseen

She paces the corridors inside
