Hummingbird

this poem is written & performed by PAGOO

tiny bird in the middle of a rainy storm

Everyone wants my light,

everyone takes my warmth

but no one has the energy to keep me safe and...

Torn. I'm feeling torn.

I'm feeling like a hummingbird in the middle of a storm:

No matter how fast my wings go,

the wind blows,

blowing away all my chances of having a consistent heartbeat

I swear and admit

that all I wanted was a perfect fantasy

The mundane just feels so ordinary to me...

I'm a dreamer, don't you see?

What about you? Do you dare to dream like me?

Don't worry, jump! Take the leap

but don't expect your wishes to become a reality...

that's just life’s bitternessweetness:

No matter how fast your wings go,

The wind blows,

blowing away all your chances of having a consistent heartbeat

Now, swear, and admit

That all you wanted was a perfect fantasy

because the mundane just feels so ordinary

You're a dreamer, don't you see?

What about me? (soft laugh)

Everyone wants my light

Everyone takes my warmth

But no one has the energy to keep me safe and... (breath)
