Why do I feel restless
whenever I'm near you?
Why do I feel hopeless
like I don't deserve you ?
Why do I care too much
about what you think of me?
Does this mean I like you
or that I don't like me?
Is it love or maybe not?

A sweet old lady told me that:
I've got a poet's heart and a wanderer's spirit
I don't know about that, but
I like to paint life
to be more than I see it
If time stops now,
I wonder if we'll know?
I think...,I think
we're all trying to freeze time
the best way we know how.

River banks
beach sands
muddy waters
loud laughs
all the things
I think about
when I'm awake at night

Rhyming words
fairy tales
true stories
laugh lines
all the things
I think about
when I'm daydreaming in class

Once in a while, my thoughts collide
the common thread,
is you by my side

I count stars
to pass my days
because I don't know
what else to do
I count sheep
to fall asleep
because I don't know
how else to breathe
I stay in a haze
to navigate inside my head
because I don't know
how else to live
And whenever you walk by
I stay low
because I don't know
how to say hello

I'm only just starting to see what I can do with my pen
There was a great language barrier that was holding me still
But it's time now, I think, to let my mind wander
And see what I can do when my ink meets paper
