EVERYTHING I AM

Letting go

is the hardest thing for me to do

when really it should be the easiest

it doesn’t even require doing.

Shouldn’t it be freeing

to loosen your grip?

But for me

letting go

feels like

the car in my psyche

is flying off a cliff.

I have a recurring dream

I’m driving a car from the backseat.

I wish I knew I could just wake up

and change the scene.

When I was sixteen

my mom told me I could do anything

if I try hard enough.

But nothing’s really changed

because I still believe

like the last time I tried

that it won’t work out for me.

I tried hard mom,

look where it got me.

That was a bit rude,

it’s still good advice.

My dreams are just big

and I get lost in their beginning.

They say if you want nothing,

you become everything.

Here’s my big declaration,

I don’t care if my dreams come true!

I hope they never do

because I already am my dream

and so are you.

I am a writer no matter who reads it.

Magnetic no matter who feels it

and forever rich in my spirit.

I am all those big things I imagine,

one day I’ll see it.
