So much to do
RUSH! HURRY! QUICK!
Don't let anyone down!
VITE! VITE! VITE!

I'll do things together
double up my time,
I'll do chores, laundry
and fight crime.

With an iron in one hand
I'll save that civilian,
Pressing my shirts
while beating Crash on the playstation.

I'll brush my teeth
and eat curry dinner,
I'll brush my hair
and sing in the mirror,

Read the scriptures,
clean the clocks,
vaccum the stairs
and pray to God,

But oh no
the plants, I've forgotten,
the leaves are droopy
and the edges rotten.

This list is never ending
to do this, tick box that,
I'll cross off the list
that I fed the cat,

Just one breath,
take a break.
Inhale. Exhale.
Feeling the rain on my neck.

Sunshine on my eyelids
wind in my hair,
the smell of the flowers
filling the air.

So take a second
STOP
forget what you're doing
enjoy life
then continue, get going.


(as far as i know 'vite' is quick in french, my mum says it a lot to my french cousin when he visits. I think that is the correct spelling.)

Like the sun on my horizon
I see my hope
the light through the branches,
I learn to cope

Frustrating numbness entered,
when I tore his life from mine.
A black-hole has torn
a corner in my mind

I cannot fill the void.
The wound opening;
stitches falling apart
but gently as a feather
sensations begin to brush
the outside of my heart.

I laugh now to fill the silence
-I wont go to that place.
I wont dwell in my sadness,
I'll search for my solace.

My sister is so funny,
she's silly in her own way.
I used to giggle and fly free,
at little things she'd say.

My other sister loves me,
I see it in her eyes.
She catches me not smiling
when I pretend I'm fine.

My expression wont be a muscle stretch,
Soon everything will seem real.
I'll hold their hands till then
because i know that time can heal.

This distance between us
is like 2 cars driving in opposite
directions,
but here we both stand.
Still as the mountains.

I want to reach out,
touch you,
and hold you close to me.
Tell me you'll never let me go.

With arms that chain and hands that lock
we can protect each other,
but I can't seem to stretch myself quite far enough
for us to come together.

I'm losing my balance, catch me.
You hold the antidote,
the doc leaf to my nettle heart.
I've let you come so close..

Taken you to my secret places,
where it was just God and me.
You're the only one I've wanted to swim with,
so just please Felipe, catch me.
