Take Hold of Me

my existence is screaming
it's a physical feeling
of missing out
on dance and light
on electricity in my hands
on circumstance
a scent-filled trance

I wanna take to the skies
this leaves me so heavy
I'm captured by gravity
and the weight of expectations
genes and generations
calling my name

Take hold of me
keep this energy steady

sometimes it is hard to know
what is fading
you measure all that you are
the density of being
so you open all the gates
walk on all the way
trusting the answers
will lie there waiting

Take hold of me
keep this energy steady
