it's all going to work out, we'll make it happen — we're in a gang, you and me, inspiration. so let's pull something wild and unplanned, something childlike and feral and grand. let's puzzle the people around us, provoke them, tempt them, astound them, stir them up, make them blush, let them wonder — it's good for everyone. highly recommended. so let's nudge those who've stopped in their tracks and tell them: this isn't about making art — it's about wanting to live. it's a feeling. that's what inspiration is. that's where we start. so let's improvise something with this day — something true, something raw, something real. all we need for this life is a little courage — our mark on history? already sealed. in our own small and personal story. the global stuff — that's just theory. lips glossed with something raspberry-bright, we're ready for whatever comes — long, wide. wild hair tucked back behind one ear, we see runways in everything. everywhere. our wings are not made of cardboard. our flights above the grey are fully legal. looping through the tangled city streets, we're looking for what's worth telling. sip by sip from a warm paper cup — stay my main fuel, don't give up. it's all going to work out. gang, we've got this. the road is open. start the engine. let's go.

it's all going to work out, we'll make it happen.
and every day — a special occasion but god, how terribly, deeply boring when everything goes according to plan and you become the plan yourself — considered. precise. on schedule. tear it to pieces. throw it to the wind. we're people — people means we're children. create all night. don't sleep enough. be fooled again. fall in love again. believe — but don't be scared. be fearless. and every day — especially important. and only living — especially urgent. eat something sweet. wear what you want. be bright, sincere, a little naive, funny, slightly strange, impulsive. look up at the sky while walking. we're people — small gods. count the steps. keep climbing. run faster. stumble. cry hard. recover fast. tell everything. be honest. walk in the rain. read novels. find what you love — hungrily, fiercely. hold the whole world inside you, the whole planet. love the universe. all of it. and every day — one of a kind. and the plan — elusive, just like you. and the plan — simple. without agenda. it's a blank page. open. clean.

and every day a special occasion
I want to live— not that I want to be a escapee, rather I want to be the kind that— If I were a pencil, let me be the sharpest tip. If I were a race, let me be the fastest stride. If I were a wing, let me reach the highest air. If I were a fragrance, let me be the softest trace that lingers. I only want — to live in the truest shape of the life I chose.

want to live..
Wake up! It’s time to wake up!! I mean really wake up!!! It’s not about the hands on the clock That tick tick tick tick tock The clock that never stops Like a pendulum weighted rod Reducing peripheral awareness Routines that seems senseless Coffee, breakfast, traffic relentless The hands that clock you in and clock you out Never do you stop and doubt The beat to which you march about The mind checked out It’s 5 o’clock somewhere Drown my mundaneness out Blindfold and gag my inner shout My robotic need to march to the monotonous beat For what will i have but despair and defeat Oh holy one, save me from my inner beast My natural instincts would have me feast On love and lust and defenceless defeat No boundaries, no walls, just vulnerability The clock keeps tick tick ticking The mind keeps click click clicking Until finally I did see Beyond its purpose to notify me of daily chores and deadlines to meet... It was in the hospital, starring at me, A clock that asked how to be free For time is not a commodity It cannot be sold or bought for a fee It has to be lived despite pain and poverty For in the struggles there is also glee No matter how sad our sorrows go deep The time that we have is worth it to keep Unchain that inner beast For love is a necessity And lust a natural need Don’t waist your time on complacency Live each second, minute and hour Every day, week, and seasonal flower Growing each year, knowledge is power Don’t take one moment for granted For time is no fairytale enchanted A seed that flowers and dies Was originally planted

Clockless Time

Don't quite understand why people keep crying, Cribbing about things, cursing their fate all the time. As if tortured by life, sulking and sighing, Not realizing that everything would eventually be fine! Being dejected by the minor downfalls in life, Depressed as the moments unfold unexpected. Forgetting that they are the gist of being alive, Without which the upheavals wouldn't be augmented! Lamenting on their past, not focusing on the present, Too busy regretting, mourning and grieving, Observing and noticing only the unpleasant, Failing to grasp the true essence of living! So just break all barriers and breathe free, Remember, there was a reason you were born! No matter how difficult, just let it be, Coz the only truth is- life goes on!
