There – there it is.
That meek, tiny whimper,
Pitifully demanding attention
Above all other priorities.
And for what?
Reassurance.
Comfort.
Connection.
There, in the dark corner,
Lies a shadow of you,
Frail and fearful
Clutching knees to chest.
Afraid of what?
What was.
What's to come.
Everything.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale slowly.
Purge the crippling worries.
Today is a new day.
What do you want?
Sunshine? Open the blinds.
Love? Start by showing some
To that you in the corner.
Sing your own song today.
Lyrics of power
Set to a score of compassion.
Life is yours to compose.
