Reluctantly you invite me in
I disturb you, you cannot hide it.
I’m not exactly unwelcome,
it’s just that you were busy, doing stuff.
Of course you will offer me
a place at your table and some food,
but you don’t have time
to entertain me, no spare feelings.
Don’t worry.
I just need peace and a place to stay
while I find out what to do next.
You know how it is,
sometimes you must empty your mind
from clutter that’s not easily reached,
like mess dropped behind the stove,
it doesn’t show but you know it’s there ,
spreading pessimistic thoughts ,
making it hard for you to love your life.
I'll say nothing, not bother you,
you can forget I'm even here.
Once I've cleared my mind,
I can help you check behind your stove.
