A sense of something
Watching slowly
Piece by piece
You depart
Brick by brick
Taken away
Lost to the crowd
Do this
Be this
Eat this
Don’t eat that
Don’t be sad
Can’t say that
Speak up
Leave room
Take up space
Live more simply
Life is complicated
Find balance
Work hard
Think less
Be mindful
Do you
Recycle thoughts
Time intersects
I feel you coming
A reckoning
Truth out
