My pep talk

A young man shows me to a table

I wanted to sit next to that window

But no matter

I aim to please

.

I politely refuse a cup of tea

My mum insists

But no matter

I aim to please

.

I wake up to put my son back to bed

I should have ignored him

But no matter

I aim to please

.

When does the pleasing stop?

When can I stop pleading?

When can I cover the wound to stop it from bleeding?

When can I emerge so I can finally start breathing?

When can I no longer be responsible?

When can I be me out of this body?

When will everything. just. stop?

.

Life organic,

moving in moments.

Change is forever,

growth of becoming.

Death awaits patiently for

its friend -

time to arrive.

.

You.

Keep moving.

No matter what comes your way-

You said you would...

Now it's hard?

When you overcome this little stumble,

you'll be flying so high, you'll be begging to stay and say...

.

I hope this never ends

Keep me here as long as possible

I love this adventure

I'm having the ride of my life

.

Sit back

Relax

Enjoy the view

Get out of that head

Because nobody is coming to save you

Just keep moving
