A thousand tasks fill my mind The clock won't let me be Feel the weight upon my shoulders Of futures yet to see This town's a winding puzzle Without a guiding thread But today I choose to pause here To breathe instead Clench your hands so tightly (Like paper crushed with care) Now release them softly (Like sand in summer air) Fix your gaze on something still That pencil, that cloud above The world keeps turning gently You can rest, my love I'm water, not steel I flow, I don't resist This chaos is but fleeting Like breezes as they drift I close my eyes, I ground myself Here now at last, at peace Like bamboo in the storm winds Bending, not breaking away Every tempest has its ending Cleansing skies of gray You're not a lifeless engine Not clockwork wrapped in skin You're human, wise yet fragile Find grace within Today, I scratch off urgent From every list I see One step at time, is plenty The world won't fall if I set myself free
