I inhale you, knowing I can die the next day
but the relief you give, makes my today

I used to love seeing your face everyday.
In fact, I would only leave my house knowing you would be there.
The more we talk face to face, we began to run out of topics to cover.
Disagreements would happen so new conversations could be created.
We began to enjoy the art of silence and the art of presence.

Distance has became the new appreciation.
In fact, I would fill my schedule with work to avoid meeting you.
I did not have to face your attitude or deal with any negativity.
I was able to do me and still enjoyed knowing you are there for me.
You have became the backup to my loneliness.

The more I think about it, the more I liked it.
In fact, I started to enjoy independence and found self-love.
I never have to worry about what to plan for us or what to do next.
The amount of freedom I felt, relieved me from stressing out.
I can decide on the spot, click send and just move on.

you got an idea, that's cool to hear
it's best to keep it (to yourself), so someone else
can make it come to life.
sit back and relax.
let them do the work
while you watch how it works.

I’m a dreamer.
Call me a daydreamer if you must:
with my eyes open, mouth shut
got my legs, I’m following.
I do not lurch for I will be cuffed!
I’m not dreaming...

water rises, cloud forms.
wind blows, gravity flows.
what more does it take
before you realize
the ground has changed.

I know you once did, and now
you just act like you care.
You wanted my attention
so I offered it coz I care.
Since relationships are mutual
even I start to not care.
Don't ask me for more
I know you wouldn't care.
The more we go through
the less we both care.
When this happens again, just know
I don't want your fake care.

My empty mind was once filled.
To do what was right, just to be proven wrong.
I do not take part and will not once more.
Our culture is different perhaps our religion too.
I guess it’s okay now,
to say we are different.

Do not worry and do not change.
Move on from here, you will find your place.
It will first be odd, that’s part of starting new.
Trust it’s right, otherwise you will know.
Make yourself comfortable,
and be thirsty again.

how many do i need
to feel like something?
Gordon Chai Oct 2018
i don't have a plan
i can't find the time
i don't have the skills

i can't seem to start it
i don't want to touch it
i can't think about it

i want to do it
i want to finish
i just want it done
try reading it reverse.

I can not do what you do
so I sit on the sidelines and watch.
I see you dance and clap
and all I can do is scream!
Must I mention, it is not joy.
It is for a change so I can be the same.

you got a new idea
you want to start a new project
what's holding you back?

you have all the resources you need
you don't know how to use it
what's the point?

you need to learn your tools
you need to know the potentials of it
the more you know, the better you will get
