“Recharge” is about finding an unexpected person who makes you feel safe and energized.
I need to recharge
I have no where to go
Everyone is everywhere
There’s no place to hide
What can I do?
Where can I go?
“Hey”
I feel a hand on my shoulder
“Are you okay?”
I don’t know you
Who are you?
Why are you talking to me?
“I’m fine”
“You’re not. Come with me”
Where are they taking me?
Why am I following them?
I feel… drawn to them
We’re outside on the rooftop
They go near the edge
“Come sit”
They say
I feel like everything around me is crashing down but still I sit down
We just sit and talk about everything and nothing at the same time
I feel at peace with myself
Why?
What did you do?
How did you do this?
I get up to leave and I turn around but just before I leave I need to ask them their name
but…they’re gone
I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling
Recharging on my own
It didn’t feel the same
I’ve never had someone that felt like that
Home…it’s funny I always thought it was a place but maybe it’s a person or a feeling
I don’t know but I need to find it again
