To Be Me

I need a day to breath

To sit and not care about anything around me

To only know that I exist

And nothing else

I need a day to be silent

To hear the subtle whispers of the earth

To let my ears stop throbbing

From the constant assault of noise

I need a day to be still

To rest this weary body

To let the ever present tension go

And remember what it is like to feel my own energy

I need a day to be me again

To be immersed in the knowledge of me

To be reminded who I am deep down

Because I have lost myself in other peoples’ worlds

I have been enveloped in other peoples’ wants

I have been covered in other peoples’ dreams

And I need a day to be me.
