She never saw
Never at all
The breathtaking stars and rainbow caught in her hair
Her very long, always flying hair
She never realised
Never ever did
The lines and spots left by winds on her face
Her grey eyes focused ahead all the time

Tomorrow will come
Look up from your wounds
Today will end
Look for your next sun
It’s a promise
Stumbles before fly
Trust, do trust
Tomorrow will arrive
Tomorrow always arrives on time

Expectation
Frustration
Rage
Dismay
My emotions broke the jar
In the air, everything in the air
They rain like confetti
They snow like firework
I implode; I explode
Tears and foam; champ and shivers
And he holds me, he holds me steady
He soothes me, he pats me like a kitty

I fell
Down
Downwards
Slowly
Slowly through this thick, dark, muddy water
I drowned
Slow
So slow
Oh no
This disgusting, dirty, messy pool
I feel with my hands
I touch something
A ball
A round hard ball
I rise holding it
I rise with it
Air
Fresh air
Sky
Blue sky
I found an ivory pearl
A perfect, glowing, enchanting pearl

Finding home
I’m finding a home
Without odour
Without nuisance
Finding somewhere
To be my home
A few pairs of worn shoes
A whole backpack of melancholy
I hug myself
So cold, so warm
I dry my tears
Helpless then back to fearless
Finding home
Searching the world
Somewhere I’m cherished
Somewhere I’m the priority
Finding a place
To be my home
Volumes of heart-to-heart journals
An overwhelming number of snapshots
I searched the world
For years on my own
I’m my home
So I thought

Variances
Experiences
We are different
Accept it
Trust the system
It’s the optimum

It’s the evil inside
The little demon
Talking and talking and talking
Until it breaks your silence
It’s this little guy
His harder and harder pushes
Trying and trying and trying
Until it breaks you into pieces
