I Don't Want My Body (To Be Their Prison)

[scattermew.livejournal.com]

Ryn was inspired by something someone said on this list a long time ago by her memory, but she could not place her finger on how to use this inspiration. Meanwhile, about five months ago, the first line of a song's first verse burst into our memory as Ryn was about to fall asleep. It wasn't until Ryn realised and accepted she was multiple that the rest of the words came, and brought forth a song that was written by Ryn in ten minutes while waiting in line at the RMV today. We were encouraged to post to this forum. We hope you all enjoy it. XD


I DON'T WANT MY BODY (TO BE THEIR PRISON)

I close my eyes and a world is born
With all the wonders to see
I open my eyes and the world is torn
Ripped out from inside of me
I wanna stay - safe within myself this way
But the world just carries on

I don't want my body to be their prison
I want to set them free - to be who they want to be
I don't want my body to be their prison
I don't want to make them be as one....

I still my thoughts and the voices come
With all the feelings they feel
I rush my thoughts and the voices run
Caught with the memories they steal
I wanna stay - safe beside myself this way
But soon the world will be all gone

I don't want my body to be their prison
I want to set them free - to be who they want to be
I don't want my body to be their prison
I don't want to make them be as one....

I can hear them calling - hoping for release
Fading slowly falling - memories shattered peace
I wish I could follow - but something holds me here
Here in the world so hollow - surrounded by my fear

I don't want my body to be their prison
I want to set them free - to be who they want to be
I don't want my body to be their prison
I don't want to make them be as one....
I don't want to make them be as one...

I, a member of the Celen collective, living with the CAT Collective, in a house *filled* with multiples (my girlfriend being the member of a .. heh ^^; and apparently the cat showing signs of it too.. o.O;;), was with Ryn when she wrote this and of *course* suggested that she post it here! I hope that you guys like it. :D

I had this idea - and I can't remember if someone suggested it before or if I just think they did - but maybe other people have written songs/poetry or have songs with multiplicity-type resonance to them? Ryn has a hobby of making seasonal compilation CD's (as well as other compilations) so maybe we in multiplicity should submit stuff for a multiplicity-related music collection. ^^

Thoughtses? ^^;;

Sure, if I can find a decent microphone, I could hook up the Tascam and do a culture jam.
