Overdone

Surrender to be free
Shut your eyes to see
Saying yes to hear no
Finding love by letting go

Being fast for a slow burn
Satisfy to always yearn
Whisper low high scream
Waking into a daydream

Being first for last place
Losing to win the race
Asking why when you know
Falling up through a hole

Hurry up and wait
Leaving early to arrive late
Working hard for fun
In the raw overdone
