Oh heart Skip Jump You are an excited beast And all a flutter With reception that comes To pieces that mine a collective wound We all seem to be suffering so deep That I cannot help but ask Is our collective experience of depression Now Not a calling from deep within a soul Yearning for tenderness, re connection affirmation and love We set ourselves boundries That we hope to honour Not realising all the time That our inner demands Are on one level A form of self rejection If we just ‘get it together’ Maybe we can for one day more Defy the demon on our shoulder Who whispers in our ear Foul nothings Not sweet nothings All a projection of our mind From contents we never put there Only absorbed from a split ailing culture So dont tell me the lie That there is something wrong with you For feeling this way When its just your fractured humanity Asking to be taken by the hand And freed from that ongoing monologue of thoughts of doom That plague so many Find comfort in this precious present moment
We are not ‘On the way’ to anywhere But here
