Written while listening to folk, Ben Iver
I wanna write a story, but also a ballad and not have to stick to the same narrative others follow, when people’s journey’s collide/something comes over me/it’s like a peace when I write and express myself/what my heart is feeling/what my mind is thinking/
It’s like a new day/even in the chaos/it’s like the sun poking out from behind the clouds/when my mind is so flustered/and my thoughts are flowing faster than my fingers/putting words to my thoughts and feelings/trying to remember the joy of being silent/
It’s like a flower beginning to bloom/a sprout from the ground/peeking up after a cold hard frost/trying to articulate a story/unique and special on it’s own/when the roots are taking hold/the storms can’t keep it from growing/sometimes it just takes a little longer/
There is hope ahead/a warmth that comes with being authentic/an inner strength others see but me/trying not to be so hard on myself/when the world is moving fast/take a breath you don’t have to gasp for air/you don’t have to be anyone but who you are/
