There is this grip it thought I didn’t have,
\na grip I didn’t know I had, until my eyes were born.<\/p>\n
There is this strength it thought I never possessed,
\na strength I took for granted that I had, until my mind was born.
\nIt doesn’t matter how much of the strength deposit was withdrawn behind me.<\/p>\n
There is this joy it thought I’d never find,
\na joy I misplaced and never bothered to cultivate.<\/p>\n
There is this precision it though I’d never master,
\na precision that’s so simple its stupidity blinds everyone who are the way I was.<\/p>\n
It fed fat on glee, seeing me goof around on slippery plane.
\nThere is this grip it thought I didn’t have.<\/p>\n
There is this joy it thought I’d never find;
\none that erects walls of love, light, and laughter,
\na joy it made obscure before my face, until my eyes were born.<\/p>\n
There is this life it hoped I’d never find,
\na life that was given to me in fine sheets of gold, long before I was born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
