maybe you were right

maybe you were right

maybe you get so used
to feeling trapped that
you don't see a way out, that
when the worst happens,
you stay fairly balanced
because you expected it

you throw away / push away /
give away / let go of /
sully / abandon
that which can lead
to other ways of being
because you no longer believe
things can be different

come up for air

breathe

imagine unicorns and rainbows
and flowers in bloom

breathe

imagine a world full
of butterflies,
bumblebees and hummingbirds

breathe

go back to the time
when there was dancing
in the rain

breathe

stay there
for as long as you need

breathe
