Observations
Beginning journeysa randomness in colourtweak the little things
Unselfconsciousnessopening creative spaceit’s a sacred thing
Stirred by my longingsmixed accountabilitiesall double-edged swords
Give me strength to facetime and space and solitudewhat I’m learning now
Asking people checkquestion what I’m processinghear the things I think
Some things I’ve unlearnedambition, career andindividuals
Scrap metal symbolsmemories outside our livessubconscious language
Stepping out sometimesrefreshing my batterieslooking for new love
Weight around my neckkeeping some things to myselfholding my thoughts down
Told we’re not enoughthat we should be doing moredo the best and win
My deepest questionwhat’s going to fill my heartbecause I’m lucky
No grander designsimagined trajectoryI stumbled on to
My dutiful kidsthey ask what I plan to doas they try their best
Resist temptationmy worth is not my day jobmy dreams satisfied
After summer cooledthe swimming pool has openedprices have gone up
Those moments we sharedplay on a loop in my headI’m a fan of yours
Summarise my thoughtsexporting an emotionis art cathartic?
Ideas of successshowing I’m loved by someoneneeding a witness
Perhaps a unionas I’ve dreamed about weddingsfor the last two nights
Message to myselfstop reaching for the biscuitsstart cooking an egg
