ikwmi. fast present.

so I keep on packingi let a beam of light into my bagto keep me afloat if i feel like i'm fallingdown into a black holei'll hold on & open my wingsthey've grown

i'll fly out the gravitationfreeze the time somewhere in betweenit will be so slowAnd i fast present

i think about our train rides as i pack thinking what haven't i brought herethe predispositionsi'm leaving them behind & flying into my freedominto the dream i always dreamed no traffic & where i'm packing fortime is meaningful as life

so i take a deep breathi let the sunlight slide into my throati'll let it enlighten me as i singit'll sing wisdom vomiting rainbows

i close my eyes and begin countingthe days i have here are numberedi'm nervous but impatient to open my wingsthe fear of inaction is worse

every now & then i recallthe memories of the wise mountainrecall the beauty it has given memy lungs fill with gratitudei don't want to let the sun gowarmth of my skin is just the right craze

& i'm packing bringing this craze wherever i goi walk in & out of the main dooriibarwondering how this would make you feelkiyi'm not afraid of the distances anymoreiayscnext to a thousand things I've witnessed as you journed by me

gtiwtstygazillion stares like a glass you effortlessly saw throughwill you know when you read thisiaay

wysyfmesomewhere behind the ruthless critic I believe in you so deep

let the voices pass byi do too& wkwigti've started packing the route mirrors the complexity we share as the shameless neurons doeventually, huh

bfftcftli know i've been ruthless my excuse is how a coal takes its time meanwhile speak your mind out through songsit's like every time you get backthere is this new dimension of you

and every time you're therei realise it's far too late to beware

it's an uncontinued storybir.iiyikwmi.
