follow me through the park
at night of course
when the stars are sinking
they fall through my mind
                being on a journey
                keeps me motivated
                who am i to lead from the front
                working between holidays
makes me unsettled
one huge office for myself
thankfully this at least
but there are mirrors of the past
                troubles around the corner
                i need to take the ferry
                crossing a bridge on water
                when walking doesn’t work
closing my eyes again
stepping out into the cold
running around the block
waiting for snow to fall
                hunting for dinner
                christmas is already history
                again one year of waiting
                or more like stretching time
so it won’t feel fluid and pale
when is the best time for
whatever springs to your mind
sip on a tea
                when you feel like dancing
                having a blast internally
                makes me sad afterwards
                makes me angry before
doesn’t make sense to you
never mind
i don’t understand either
but i feel it every day
                the two hearts in my chest
                the eyes from the others
                knowingly unknowing
                the duality keeps me alive
but rips me apart sometimes
at the end of tomorrow
there are two days left
to finish some dreams.
