Hey, I’m Ashia Vú (like Deja Vú) but I like Vú for short.
I make music, write poems, and feel things a little too deeply sometimes.
This space is for that.
I've had a lot of work exist in silence… unfinished songs, quiet thoughts, half-saved projects and I wanted somewhere to keep them alive.
Some posts will be poems
some will be demos
some will just be me thinking out loud
but all of it is from the same place
the part of me that’s still learning how to be heard
I wanted to start with a poem from an artist working a 9 to 5…
“How Many More Days…”
so how many more days
am I gonna repeat
this same old routine
monday to monday
and these cups of caffeine
3 sugars 2 creams
the deli cashier shouldn’t
know my face so well
and how many more times
am I gone sit at this desk
I got all these papers
with cuts on my index
how many more times
will I let time
will I let time, pass
I'm not crazy
I'm not crazy
I'm not…I just…
I just wanna free my soul
how many more fake smiles
can I create
small talk and empty conversations
how many more times
will I have to stay late
just to catch up the next day
how many more hours
will I spend?
doing something that I don’t even enjoy
how many more days
have to go by
before I decide
enough is enough
follow your passions
follow your soul
