This is not something I do often. But since you basically inspired this bit of poetry, I'm leaving it here for you. Sorry if it comes off as pretentious.

With a word, I exhale
My breath golden tendrils that press against the veil
My light within the blanket
That woolen trap that ensnares and chokes until you cannot make it.
These threads and lines
ties up and binds deep cuts within myself
allowing this physician, the strength to heal thyself
and gives me the light to find
the strength inside that I need to shine

That's so wonderful. Thank you for sharing 🙏

You're welcome

Forgot to mention,

It's yours to do with what you will, just don't forget to mention me if you use it is all I ask.

I can relate somewhat to this, I admit that at times singing has helped me out too, or just to help express myself. I'm glad to see that singing still helps you out too. 'hug'

Your performance of "When You Believe" at Anthrocon 2017 is proof of music's ability to lift you up. You shuffled onto the stage slowly, as if on your way to your execution, but by the end of the song, you acted like you were on top of the world.

That's exactly what inspired this. Singing really does help me let go of anxiety.
I'm really happy you remembered that performance.

I know you to be spiritual. You at least partially believe in God. You love to sing about believing and miracles and communing with a higher power. That's what I love about you.

Brilliant drawing.
Hugs
