The Caretaker

My Best Self

GRACE GILLESPIE - Empty In The Capital

It is what it is
Not what it ought to be
Not exactly what you wanted
Not exactly what you need
But I am comfortable with knowing
That our consciousness is growing
Learning to destroy ourselves
And blame it on something else

It is what it is
Not what it used to be
Not the past and not the future
Something in-between
But I am comfortable with riding 
On the moving parts of time
Like I am comfortable looking
At the London skyline

But I am not myself today
What is it I’m doing?
What was it I wanted to say?
Yes I am grateful for the day
Just restless in the rationale
Empty in the Capital

It is what we are
Not what we choose to be
Cannot capture just the essence
Cannot pragmatise our presence
But we’re comfortable with living
While some other eyes are stinging
Like we’re comfortable with turning
Our faces to the sky

But I am not myself today
What is it I’m doing?
What was it I needed to say?
Yes I am grateful for the day
Just restless in the rationale
Empty in the Capital

Ahhh not we are not ourselves today
What is it we’re doing?
What was it we wanted to say?
Are we ungrateful for the day?
Just restless in the rationale
Empty in the Capital
