点击复制Not yet Not Now
By: 王登顺
The fireworks faded into quiet streets
Calendar flipped but my heart missed a beat
New year numbers hanging over my head
Like unfinished letters I never sent
I hear the city breathing slow tonight
Neon signs learning how to dim their light
I ran all year on borrowed flame
Now even my dreams forgot my name
I packed my days with reasons to go
Deadlines talking louder than hope
Every song was a finish line
Every breath another borrowed time
Now the silence finally talks to me
Says sit down kid just let it be
Your hands are shaking your soul is sore
You don’t have to prove nothing anymore
I’m not empty I’m coming home
Laying my armor on the floor
If I stop running don’t call it fear
I’m just listening to myself again
I’m not broken I’m learning slow
How to live without the afterglow
If the world keeps asking me to go
I whisper back “Not yet not now”
The mirror shows a tired smile
Been strong a little too long a while
Applause echoes in empty rooms
Success still smells like cheap perfume
I chased the echo of “almost there”
Till my heartbeat forgot fresh air
Every win just raised the bar
Turned my rest into a scar
New year morning coffee cold
Sunlight spilling soft and gold
For the first time I don’t chase
I let the day keep its own pace
There’s a weight I didn’t know I held
Dropped it gently nothing fell
If I do nothing the sky stays blue
Turns out the world knows what to do
I’m not empty I’m coming home
Laying my armor on the floor
If I stop running don’t call it fear
I’m just listening to myself again
I’m not broken I’m learning slow
How to live without the afterglow
If the world keeps asking me to go
I whisper back “Not yet not now”
All the songs I didn’t write
Are still humming late at night
They don’t leave me they just wait
Like old friends outside the gate
Creativity doesn’t die in snow
It curls up quiet lying low
Like a tide that pulls away
So the ocean bed can breathe one day
I don’t owe the clock my soul
I don’t need to fill the hole
Being still is not retreat
It’s the rhythm under my feet
I gave my best to yesterday
Tomorrow can wait its turn to play
If rest is all I can afford
Then rest is holy rest is gold
I’m not empty I’m coming home
Laying my armor on the floor
If I stop running don’t call it fear
I’m just listening to myself again
I’m not broken I’m learning slow
How to live without the afterglow
If the world keeps asking me to go
I whisper back “Not yet not now”
Let the noise pass me by
Like trains I don’t have to ride
Let the guilt knock on my door
I won’t answer like before
I’ve been brave in louder ways
Now I’m brave enough to stay
No finish line no ticking sound
Just a heartbeat on the ground
If the fire sleeps inside my chest
It’s gathering light not losing breath
Every pause is part of the song
Even silence sings along
I see my shadow stretch and yawn
Learning how to greet the dawn
No grand plans no big reveal
Just something quiet something real
The year ahead doesn’t scare me now
I don’t need to make a vow
I’ll walk when walking feels okay
I’ll rest when rest won’t go away
Some dreams bloom out of sight
Growing roots in darker nights
When they rise they rise complete
Not rushed not torn not incomplete
So if you ask me what I do
I’ll smile and say I’m feeling through
This space between the start and end
Where I’m my own best friend
I’m not empty I’m coming home
Laying my armor on the floor
If I stop running don’t call it fear
I’m just listening to myself again
I’m not broken I’m learning slow
How to live without the afterglow
If the world keeps asking me to go
I whisper back “Not yet not now”
When the music finds me again
I’ll open both my hands
Till then I’ll breathe I’ll stay
Let the quiet have its say
I’m not late I’m right on time
This pause is still a part of mine
If I rest here don’t ask me how
I finally know why
Not yet not now
