TemisUncloudedMind
Unseen weight behind quiet eyes Slow dancing as the universe spins The same steps again again Billions of lives different rhythms same universe Static in the air waiting for the station to change But the music stays Slow dancing with the universe on an isolated frequency.

Dancing with the Universe
Disconnected minds busy full of questions never spoken aloud One side straight lines labeled drawers calendars color-coded days Other side open windows loose pages unknown directions no clock on the wall Windows open wider Distance No middle ground.

No Middle Ground
On the train rows of stacked adults faces lit by phones no eye contact silent fragile like books on shelves.

Bookshelves in Motion
Safety. I sink deeper into the cushions as if the fabric could hold the noise. I try to arrange my thoughts into something quiet. But it is only my anxiety tightening around me. Inside a scream with nowhere to go. Outside I sit still in the middle of the couch as if it were protection. Tomorrow will find me.

Middle of the Couch
Fulfilling. Words I do not understand. An unknown language. Yet the strings vibrate softly through the air, rippling outward. My ears open for more. The sound moves like breath through my chest. My heart full. One song holding many emotions. Nothing contained. The sound carries me beyond this moment. Everywhere. Present.

Favorite Song (Ubuntu)
No. I am not here. My body in the room. My mind in another. The present calls me back. For a moment I return. Too close. I step away again… to the quiet room that protects my mind. Fragile, but aware.

Between Rooms
Life already drawn. Bars shaped like career routine walls a path already drawn Days stacked like quiet boxes A track laid down before my first step What would I be untamed no path no blueprint my own guide Wind choosing its own direction feet turning toward any road Unmapped I wonder.

Unmapped
Before language. Before names. I existed unexplained, uncontained. Already myself.

Before my name
Temi means mine. Not a disguise. Not a version of myself made easier to hold. Just mine. A name I meet myself in. Safe. Mine.

Temi (Mine)
Unmovable. Grounded. Fair. Not bending to rules. Not twisting my neck to fit a narrow doorway. A voice like a signpost pointing ahead. Think this way. Think that way. Follow. My mind is not a leash. My instincts are a compass never learned, never read. I am not a follower. I am not a prisoner. I stand in my own alignment. I follow no rules but the quiet authority inside my own mind. I let my brain lead. I do not conform to cages dressed as guidance, to control disguised as care. Yet I am called insane. I say I am Sane.
