I broke my ankle in 7 pieces in a mountain biking crash. It was a defining moment for me. I think it was significant because 7 is number of chakras we have in our bodies (main energy centers), and each rules a certain area of our body, mind and spirit...I was back on my bike a day after I got my cast off. I was back riding trails within a few months. Many people ask me why. I look at them like they're crazy and say why wouldn't I?

7 PIECES

 

I thought I was steel

Thought I was indestructible

I lied through my smile

Yeah, I was unbelievable

I survived on spite

I swallowed bitter words

I gave love away

And took none in return

 

I turned my back on my intuition

I ignored all the premonitions

I told the Gods to kiss my ass

Was on a path - heading fast and...

 

I CRASHED - I CRASHED SO HARD

I BROKE IN SEVEN PIECES

I CRACKED - I FLEW APART

FORCED TO FACE MY EVERY WEAKNESS

AS I LAY IN SEVEN PIECES

AS I LAY IN SEVEN PIECES

 

 

In my messed up bed

Thought I was so untouchable

I cried gasoline

Emotions so combustible

I finally came clean

And told myself the truth

I needed to change

Seven pieces were proof

 

I opened my soul to my intuition

Found the magic of inspiration

I heard the Gods so clear and loud

Say to me: Do you get it now?

 

YOU CRASHED - YOU CRASHED SO HARD

YOU BROKE IN SEVEN PIECES

YOU CRACKED - YOU FLEW APART

AND YOU FACED YOUR EVERY WEAKNESS

AS YOU LAY IN SEVEN PIECES

AS YOU LAY IN SEVEN PIECES

 

BRIDGE

I had to break so I could heal

Seven sacred wheels are turning

Seven rainbow lights are burning

The scars aren't pretty but I'm alive

I survived...I survived
