why I came here

great mother
I lose my dreams
great mother
when I sleep I cannot dream

their hands and eyes are poison to me
great mother
they have taken you from me
great mother

with no gratitude
no appreciation
great mother

that is not why I came here
great mother
you gave me life
you breathed into my vessel
that I might be free and whole
great mother

I became stuck in illusion
great mother
every time I grasp a moment of peace
or quiet inside me
great mother
I feel them approach intending to persecute me
great mother

I don't want this anymore
rid me of parasitic venom
great mother
take it away, I am your daughter

my tears your salt
my bones your design
great mother
I want to be alive and awake

enough to make it clear
why I came here
