Getting Real

In the quiet it's different 
Being is different 
When the noise stops 
There's no time 
You could be 5 years old 
Or 17, or 92 
Minutes gather around 
Asking for attention 
Like shiny little pieces of stained glass 
Choosing not to dive in
Immersed in the space between 
Watching the shadows play
The more you open 
The stranger it gets 
One foot in each plane 
Do you occupy both
Or neither?
You think about concepts like identity 
You're not the face 
On the license 
Draped with narratives that no longer define 
So rare to be seen 
Really seen, even glimpsed 
For what you truly are 
And you crave it 
That sweet, tender bliss
Of being known 
But that's like making yourself into
The Velveteen Rabbit 
There's no need to wait 
You're already real
