This is typed as I sit so speeling errros will occccurrr.

We all, whether from talent, stress, a feeling life is getting on top, a target - whether we are, or not, or feel it reach a point, and it is a natural point when we feel like saying:

Yes
I am eating
I am paying the rent
My belief in myself

Can happen elsewhere

And the other side says

Yes

I  matter
No
It's going to happen elsewhere

I didn't join this company to take this rubbish

And the final bit says

Why the hell does it matter to me
I didn't ask my family to rely on me
I didn't ask for talent demanding on me

I didn't ask it's costs
I didn't ask if I was good
I didn't ask

Why

but yes

I dont wan't those high elecrictity volts of anger
I dont wan't ideas
I dont that belief
That by writing
I can change the world

I want life
I want respect
I want

Those drives to stop
That demand
To stop
That belief
To stop

As a salve

Or as a slave

To stop
That feeling

Of echoing through a life
Written of dreams
Freed of capture
To an exploration
Of desire
Melting
An image

That others
choose to capture
For display
Frozen

In their image
At their time
In their ignorance

Of movement

Whoa!! You've got a lot of thoughts going on in this one Dave! Still, a good write. Like a bee hive. Many things happening at once, but unbelievably organized.

You want to just BE ...
And I think it is a beautiful idea, effectively shared.

Love, Margherita

I shoud have called this

Side street

The buz passes by

I always ask
Why do we
want politicians

All we do

Is spend our life

Paying them

I say

Let them make their own

Musical
