1.
The sun after rain Kisses my face I remember to laugh I remember to smile again Here I am Here I am Now I am alive
2.
Do you remember the time I was sad And I cried out for you Do you remember the time I was sad You said that you never knew Do you remember the time I was sad And you just looked right through I laid in my bed Checking check my phone I laid in my bed Pretending not to feel alone
3.
Hoping for peace within my heart Hoping for peace when weā€™re apart Trying to swim against the waves Breathing in water Iā€™m not unsafe
4.
Living life with the dirty But I canā€™t say a thing Iā€™m afraid of your anger So I hold mine in In this time for reflection I donā€™t see mirrors I just feel the suction towards Hiding and fear Tip toeing and quiet And still I am seen Squished into a madness Skipping bodily needs In this time for reflection I donā€™t see mirrors I just feel the suction towards Hiding and fear
5.
A piece of the resistance Floats down the stream A purple flower whispers All that we could have been I heard we had it coming Riding down the line Will we be ready To give back the time? I smell the resentment Boiling fear When you hardly can breathe You donā€™t help those whoā€™re near I wish we could find peace Smile in harmony That requires changing Who tells our stories That requires changing Who tell our stories
6.
Thereā€™s a weed planted in my brain Roots dig deep thirsty for my thought water It says quick quick quick It says check check check check It says who is a success? Six gulls soar from the misty gray Scanning for the tiniest prey Their prey is ā€œIā€™m not thereā€ Their prey is ā€œI donā€™t have itā€ Their prey is ā€œIā€™m not whole Until Iā€™ve got itā€ The sea says ā€œSo what? Who knows what anyone has? You know more than anyone What you really haveā€

Donā€™t fucking talk to me Please I need alone time I need some quiet please Some space to think
