I sit on a sill
Reaching for sun
She waters my leaves
A relaxing sensation

I sing a calm song
A youthful note
Small and strong
A gentle growth

I sit here still
Reaching for sun
She waters my leaves
Rejuvenating liberation

I try for patience
Growing up
Forever
Slowly
Until

Fresh fruit bear free

It's uncomfortable
Like a child's first steps
Shaky and unstable
Slow and careful
Little arms reaching out for balance

It's chaotic
Like growing up
Like wild love
Like running too fast
Through a thick, overgrown forest

It's paralyzing
Like thoughts, like fears
Like losing someone
Like holding tears

It's like life

I Run in place of those who can't.
I Run in spite of those who won't.

I Live in place of those who can't.
I Live in spite of those who won't.

I Thrive in place of those who can't.
I Thrive in spite of those who won't.

I Run.

See the girl with the butterfly wings
See  the girl with her heart in her strings
She sits alone and breathes like a flower
She's only afraid of being a coward

She's the girl with the butterfly wings
She's the girl who I long to be
Right now I'm a caterpillar
But one day, one day I'll be like her

stay here
(on the Sofa)
  feel the Beat
   (and never go)

be my boy
(everlasting)
  at the end
  (talk around)
    secrets of love

With you
Hand in mine
On the sofa
Listening
Earbuds in
