Dream Big
What do you
What do you want
In life
Where are you going
What are you gonna do with your life
This is not where I wanna be, I’ve got too many dreams on top of me
I cant stop thinking about,
Everything that persists on stopping me
Too many rules, too many faces
telling me that ive got to go different places
and I feel the embarrassment when I see other people putting me through my paces
come down from the clouds
as a child she would listen to the radio
singing every single song as she would go…
When she was 2 she played in the dirt
As the sprinklers in the grass would spurt
She made sure that no small thing could get hurt
The things that you love are going to kill you
She said
And as that replayed in her head
She thought of the time she could have been dead
As she sit in the garden with jelly on her tongue
A wasp was lured in by the sun
And The
strawberry scent and how it hung
and then
Into the mouth, it stung and stung
I remember the ice lolly to sooth the pain
It was my sisters and she cried in vain
But I always remember the real shame
A wasp had died, and I was to blame
‘due to whats happened it is imperative that she does not get stung again and if she does she will need immediate emergency attention, as it is likely she will go into anaphylactic shock’
we flower pressed him under the word wasp in the dictionary
I never knew they had legs quite so hairy
I imagined he has a wife called mary and suddenly he didn’t seem so scary
The very next day I went back out
Into the garden I had no doubts
I picked up a wasp I just wanted a friend
It turned around and stung me again
I knew I was a forgiving child
With a heart that was made for the wild
Protector of insects that nobody loves
Maggot and worms I found in the shrubs
If you stood on a snail I would mourn for days
So sometimes when you catch me in a gaze
I’m not just having one of those days
I’m thinking about every different way
That I seem to be stuck in this phase, of life
It feels like I feel too much
Think too much, dream big and sink too much
On the brink, too much
And that’s why I think so much
About the simplest of things
Because when she was 14
life lessons began
Family, hearts and emotions ran
She would write down lyrics and paint and draw and act
There was something within the future of that
‘you’ve got to go into acting, girl you’ve got a talent’
‘you know you are gonna be famous, you are’
‘you know, one day youre gonna be a star’
If you just keep the dream in the near not far
When there’s so many things
For the lesson learned was one I still hold
To learn from things you have to be bold
I want to give my love to things
That respond to love with a harsh sting
I still love wasps just as much
But now I am much more weary to touch
But love regardless and that I do
Believe in people and believe in you
You can do whatever you want to do
The shape of your life is up to you
‘but what if I want to get away from it all,
Worry about the trees and the fall
And not about the kids at school or the teachers and tutors
2012
If you let too much get on top of you, you’re never going to make it
Listen ma I think I can take it
I got dreams and I know for my sake its
Not gonna matter if I get in a relationship
Its never going to ruin my plans
to give
a bit of my love to another man
Instead of
Putting my all into my passions
Chasing my dream will never go out of fashion
