Off the Radar

Feel free to look,

But you won’t find me.

I’ll be back, in time.

After I go back in time.

 

I’m off the radar,

It’s where I need to be.

 

Sorting out a shaky, injured past.

I want my past to be proud of me,

And my future to stop hurrying me along,

So I can pay my dues to the present.

 

One day I’ll be back,

When the time is right.

When I’m strong enough,

I’ll move this mountain off my foot.

 

I’m like a kid in time-out,

I’ll sit in my corner until I’m done crying.

Once I’m ready to rejoin the class,

I’ll pick up a pen and start where I left off.

 

Limbo is somewhere to be,

Even if it’s hell on the brake pads.

For the first time in my life,

I don’t know what’s actually right.

 

For now I’m off the radar,

It’s where I need to be.
