Exactly 3 years ago, we released a song and a music video... but apparently, a year ago, I wrote a poem. Haven't published it anywhere (I think) although I distinctly remember recording myself reading it. Perhaps I didn't think the result was good enough. Anyway, putting it out here now for your reading pleasure. Perhaps the audio version will also, some day, * one day * , be released...
"DAY ONE"
One day,
You may witness the world
Slowly, but surely falling apart
In front of your very eyes.
You may wake up
And finally admit to yourself
That you’re not where you want to be.
You may look in the mirror
And be confused - “This is not me!”
You may look deep into your soul
And not know
What this is all for.
You may look at your habits
And not understand the purpose.
You may look into your fridge
And find it lacking nutrients and nurture.
Sinister shadows lurking behind
What you thought were virtues.
You may see behind the facade
If you only dare to look - it’s not that hard.
Just squint your eyes a bit
Let go of what you thought was “it”
You’re there, you’re ready, you’re done
This is not “one day”
This is “day one”
