All That I Have
Solitude's Symphony: Marella Motta's Reflections on Life
Lyrics
All that I have
All the possessions or aspects of my life
Sitting in the kitchen all alone,
Being in the kitchen by myself
hoping you won’t call me on the phone
Desiring not to receive a call from you
and everything that needs to be served
Everything that requires attention or action
is silence that I value more than gold
The quietness or absence of sound is highly valuable to me
It’s been a little while since I’ve been gone
It's been a while since I've been away
as if I travelled out of space or time
Feels like I've journeyed far or experienced a disconnect from regular life
Learning through the beauty of the one
Learning from the beauty of someone significant
who took my life and turned it upside down
This person has completely transformed my life
The music playing in my head
Hearing music in my mind
and all the words I never read,
Books or messages that I have never engaged with
the reasons that you just don’t seem to get
Your inability to understand certain reasons
Are those that made me who I am
These reasons have shaped my identity
and if you could just comprehend
If only you could grasp the awe I pursue
the wonder that I search for with my hands
I have to strive to experience this wonder
All that I have to do
All the responsibilities or tasks I must fulfill
is try to be true, so true
To stay authentic is my sole obligation
I open my eyes to see
Upon waking, I observe without surprise
and it’s no surprise
It's anticipated that I find comfort in my solitude
My solitude is where I need to be
Being alone is necessary for my mental peace and understanding my emotions
to rest my mind and gather what I feel
To calm my thoughts and process my emotions
There is a strength in what we do not say,
Significance in the unspoken words or the power of silence
the building of the next step of the way
The construction or formation of the next phase of life's journey
The music playing in my head
Hearing music within myself
and all the words I never read,
Not having engaged with certain knowledge or information
the reasons that you just don’t seem to get
Your inability to comprehend specific reasons
Are those that made me who I am
These reasons have been integral in shaping my identity
and if you could just comprehend
If only you could understand the wonder I seek
the wonder that I search for with my hands
I am striving to experience this wonder with my actions
All that I have to do
All the responsibilities or tasks I must fulfill
is try to be true, so true
Maintaining authenticity is my primary objective
I open my eyes to see
Upon waking, I perceive without astonishment
and it’s no surprise
It's expected that I find solace in my solitude
