Test My Depths
by Jeff Mac
How do you deal with the darkness?
Do you spark that light?
Or do you become heartless?
Regardless, I heard her ask:
“Can we begin with Once Upon a Time…”
Plus I saw that sign
That shooting star across the sky
That really caught my eye
And made me wonder why
We have the ability
To create “hello’s” from “goodbye’s”
From letting go to just one more time
From good mornings to goodnights
From flirting with death to saying I love my life
I invite, you to come test my depths
I’ll even throw my soul
Hoping you can catch your breath
And I’m barely in control of these goals of mine
But that’s fine, because at least I’m living my life by design
But what is it that you see inside?
What is it that got you wondering why?
Because my heart, this heart of mine
Is a changing landscape
I am a living contradiction
Meaning: I am everything
I am pleasure; I am pain
I am freedom; I’m caged
I am at peace; but I’m also at war
I am love but I also have anger
So while I’m searching for my answers
Wondering what’s coming next
Maybe you’ll be the one to save me from disaster
As you test my depths
