00:00 It is only a word, but I carry it with me like a broken wing, dragged downwards by its weight.
00:19 Mental, mental, may as well say nutter, cuckoo, cracked, too shameful to be shared,
00:36 even among friends and over coffee. Words so sour they would split the milk.
00:44 I cannot be the one who cannot cope, so I keep my head down, stare at my film.
00:56 Don't look to hope, just keep on keeping on.
01:02 Unless, unless I pause, reframe, unless I find a different name for what this is.
01:16 Find new words that are gentle, that are kind. Our minds are magical, powerful,
01:26 creating worlds from words, so I must learn to choose and use them with care.
01:34 I need simple words, simple as that patch of blue sky in the puddle,
01:40 or those weeds splitting concrete. I need words I can sit with on a bench,
01:47 listening to blackbirds and children, seeing how the trees stand round like patient family,
01:55 how there is room for someone else beside me. I need words to meet over,
02:02 share a coffee or a meal over, sit in quiet connection over with another body in the same air.
02:10 We need words that we can share, that help us unfurl like stretching wings,
02:17 words that help us hold our heads up high and watch the starlings fly.
02:24 Together.
