At times,
I feel nervous–
nervous that it
is stronger than me.
*
It can make any situation into a problem,
labeling itself a “worry wart”
(and who would ever want to be a wart?)
this is my fear:
*
It will change my relationships
it will tarnish my career
it will make all the beauty I’ve felt inside of me
feel meaningless.
*
It is crazy to think I’m not alone.
*
The truth is that beauty is eternal,
and my mind
will never be stronger than my presence,
patient like a willow
it will flow in the breeze,
follow me step by worry torn step
relaxing my insides,
releasing the mountain of love
that lives inside my chest–
it lives in all of us.
*
Sometimes,
I read quotes;
maybe they will make me feel “better”
maybe they will “fix” my mind–
I know only I can.
*
At all times,
I know there is timelessness,
the truth,
our only savior,
waiting for my heart to forgive my head,
catch up with my soul,
and allow myself
to lay,
still.
